First Monterey?

[jakdad]

I am taxing my memory. Was the first Monterey in 1950? I knew Marauder guys would know this. Yes, I was there but memory........................ :D :D :D

I am guessing 1954...similar to the Crown Vickie of the time.. RAM

I am guessing 1954...similar to the Crown Vickie of the time.. RAM I know they made a Monterey in 1951. I just got confused as to whether or not they made it in 1950. I believe they did but in very limited quantity. Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I did a search also and found this one. Due to the fact it's a custom, I don't know that it really is a Monterey. I was hoping someone would have a pic of an original or restored one. They may be all gone.
