Mercury Monclair in West Seattle

I’d driven by this car a few times over the last year or so and had always wanted to stop and check it out. So Jen and I swung by on the way back from our field trip to West Seattle High (Jen busted an awesome u-turn in the Eagle and almost knocked over someone’s yard waster container on the parking strip). I was pretty torn over whether this is a ’58 or a ’59, but I’m pretty sure it’s a ’59. Not sure how long it’s been sitting or how often it gets driven, but it seems to be fairly well loved. Still, I hate to see cool old cars like this parked out in the elements. But then garage space ain’t cheap in Seattle, so there you are. A bunch more pics after the jump.
