27: 1963 Mercury Monterey
This isn’t the failed Mercury minivan from the ’90s, but the original Monterey. This was one of the full-size cars that Mercury was touting as a revolution at this period. Sadly, aside from the car’s beautiful looks and beltline, it didn’t offer much in the way of substance and most drivers were aware of that. The Monterey was meant to appeal to families who wanted a more exciting car than the average joe.

Sadly, this car didn’t offer that up in any sense of the word. There were notorious issues with reliability from the onset and the car had a higher price tag than most. Aside from the design flaws, the Monterey was also quite unreliable and would spend a great deal of time in the shop. Don’t count on the AC working as that was another annoying problem that many buyers had to deal with overtime.
