1961 Mercury Monterey Convertible Coupe. The Monterey series was once again Mercury's premium series in 1961. The Park Lane and Montclair series had been dropped at the end of the 1960 model year. More emphasis and attention were being bestowed on Mercury's successful compact entry, the Comet, and planning was well underway for the 1962 introduction of a new "intermediate" size Mercury called "Meteor". The beautiful black Monterey convertible in Ken's photograph sold for $3,128 in 1961 and 7,053 of these ragtops were produced. The only more expensive Mercury for 1961 was the 9 passenger Colony Park Station Wagon priced at $ 3,191.
