Info about this vehicle:

1952 Mercury Monterey 4-Door Sedan - Primrose Yellow with Forest Green Roof - Flathead V8, Merc-O-Matic Auto, Whitewall Tyres
1952 Mercury Monterey four-door sedan finished in Primrose Yellow with a Forest Green roof over a two-tone teal and cream interior. Left-hand drive, rear-wheel drive, powered by a Mercury flathead V8 engine with Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission. Odometer indicating 59,789 miles. Seating for five.
Description
The 1952 Mercury Monterey sits in the sweet spot of early 1950s American design, right when Detroit was moving away from the rounded pre-war shapes into the longer, lower, wider look that would define the decade. This four-door sedan wears a striking two-tone combination of Primrose Yellow with a Forest Green roof that really suits the era. Mercury positioned the Monterey as its premium line in 1952, and this one carries the full complement of Monterey-specific trim including the chrome script badges on the front fenders, rear quarters, and dashboard, the distinctive chrome and red vertical-bar accent pieces on the fenders, and the Mercury crest hood ornament. Under the bonnet sits the Mercury flathead V8, the larger displacement version of the famous Ford flathead, paired with the Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission.
Looking at this car, the two-tone paint presents with good gloss and depth across all panels. The body is straight with consistent panel gaps and no visible dents or evidence of accident repair. Chrome bumpers, grille, headlight bezels, window surrounds, and side trim are all present and in bright, presentable condition. The interior has been reupholstered in a period-appropriate two-tone teal and cream vinyl with pleated inserts, and it looks excellent. The dashboard retains its original push-button AM radio, analog clock, and full gauge cluster. The carpets appear fresh, the headliner is tight and clean, and door cards on all four doors match beautifully. An aftermarket external sun visor adds a period-correct accessory touch. The flathead V8 engine bay is complete and original in appearance, with minor surface grime consistent with age but no obvious leaks or damage. The factory data plate on the door jamb is legible, reading serial number 52ME48291M.
The 1952 Mercury Monterey has a dedicated following, particularly among lead sled and custom car enthusiasts who prize the body shape. The average sale price for first-generation Montereys sits around US$27,000 according to Classic.com. This sedan, with its attractive colour combination, well-presented interior, and complete trim package, presents genuine value for someone looking for a stylish 1950s American cruiser.
