Hello, This 1956 Mercury has been stored for over 35 years in a garage, Where I found it at an Estate Sale, it took me all day long to get it out from all the things the owner had stacked around it. When I opened the front door I saw the original keys were still in the ignition, I asked the Woman having the Estate Sale was the mileage original miles, she said yes. I would like everyone viewing the Listing to see all the Pictures to see the condition of everything. There is NO Rust Holes anywhere on the car, The Headliner looks near new condition, the original rugs are all intact, all the guages and radio are all there. and the only dent in the car is back by the passenger side rear door and its very minor, easy fix for a body man. If you wanted a 56 Merc to restore then this is it, FOr Sure. The first thing I did was have the gas tank cleaned and it looked new inside, I put a new Fuel Pump and Rebuilt the Carburator, and put a Battery in it and turned the key and it started right up and Man you should hear the dual exhaust sound, Smile. Really the only thing you need to do to drive this car down the highway as is check the brakes they work but are a little spungy. Anyway Give me a call at 1(530)938-4232 anytime, my name is Alan. I am a retired Painting Contractor here in California. This Car is being sold in As is Condition, and buyer to pay for all shipping costs, As I said this car runs great so it can be driven onto a car hauler easily. And I also have another car a 1955 Chevy I am selling in another auction, check it out. If the Mercury does' nt sell this time at this price, I am going to just keep it and sell he 55 Chevy Only. I'm waiting to hear from you.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
