In 1968, Mercury introduced the Monterey lineup, offering various configurations to cater to different customer preferences. While the four-door sedan emerged as the most popular choice due to its affordability, other options included the two-door hardtop coupe and hardtop sedan, with the convertible being the rarest and most expensive variant.

Among the limited production of 1968 Monterey convertibles, one pristine example recently surfaced after undergoing meticulous restoration. Featuring a striking Bright Green exterior and a matching leather interior, this rare convertible showcases its uniqueness and desirability.
