Classic 1960 Mercury Monterey
You’ll look a long time before matching Mercury’s beauty at such a low price.
Mercury’s advantages are everywhere. There’s more room to stretch out in; more room for center-seat passengers. Interiors are more luxurious.
Brakes are bigger — and self-adjusting. The largest windshield on any car means better visibility. And Mercury’s super-efficient standard engine delivered far more “go” … and on regular gas.
1960 Mercury Monterey: The better low-price car

Mercury Country Cruiser Commuter station wagon
Mercury’s Country Cruisers go far beyond ordinary station wagons. You get handsome hardtop styling. There’s no “hemmed in” feeling.
One side pillar takes the place of the usual three. A retractable rear window slides into the tailgate, eliminates the need for a liftgate.
Cargo space is the roomiest in any wagon.. over 101 cubic feet. An optional self-storing 3rd seat faces front. No need to sit backwards.
