After World War II, any manufacturers were reestablishing their identity, nd Ford was not different with the decision to combine their mid-luxury line Mercury and upscale Lincoln brands becoming one division in 1945. The Mercury marque went from a sophisticated and well-appointed Ford, o a market sensation by 1949 distinctly separating itself from Ford and Lincoln. Fast forward to 1954 and you will see the first year introduction of the Overhead Valve V8 replacing the flathead forever. That same year, ercury rolled out a special Hardtop model in their upscale Monterey body called the Sun Valley. It featured a unique Plexiglas roof and attractive body trim, ith a host of available options making it the most expensive model they offered next to the convertible. Only 9,761 were produced, nd finding one in this condition presents a wonderful opportunity to Mercury collectors everywhere!
