1956 Mercury Montclair
The 1956 Mercury Montclair came standard with a deep-dish steering wheel, safety door locks, a breakaway rear view mirror, and optional seat belts and a redesigned padded dashboard with a new three-tier instrument panel. They were all a part of Ford’s new Lifeguard Safety program.
Other minor trim changes for 1956 included a new Z-shaped side spear incorporating a false vent behind the front doors, and a hefty, chromed “M” logo on the hood.
