Mercury production numbers

[swalker08]

Does anyone have an idea of how to find out the production numbers by options for the 62 Monterey? I have found numbers by body style but i often hear people state more specific numbers by engine/paint code/interior etc for other cars and wanted to know how to go about finding that info. Thx in advance.

You can always reach out and contact Kevin Marti. No one has more experience with decoding Ford’s data tags. For a fee, he offers to examine data tags for red flags if you suspect some equipment is not quite original.

Unfortunately, records prior to 1967 aren’t as good. When the Motor Vehicle Safety Act was passed in 1966 (Thanks, Nader!), a huge component was the ability to perform mandatory recalls. Automakers were officially responsible for telling customers if a part on their vehicle was defective. But that meant they needed a record of what had originally been produced.

Before the law, Ford didn’t have to keep records, so there aren’t any official ways to establish what was made with the same precision as the years from 1967 on.
