Default $100 Mercury Monarch
A friend of mine just bought a Mercury Monarch for $100. I fogot what year...70s. anyway, i took some photos of this BEAUTY!

why did he get it? he uses this as a beater so he can keep his primary car in good shape especially under snowy conditions.

the plush interior....

when you sit down, the seat sinks down so low that you can barely see over the steering wheel.
