The Mercury XM-800 is a concept car created by Mercury and first introduced at the 1954 Chicago Auto Show.[1] The XM, or experimental Mercury, "push car" (meaning that it was not drivable) went the 1954 US auto show circuit season.[1] Although it was promoted by Ford as an "advanced design, engineered to go into volume production”, the XM 800 never passed the concept phase. The show car was designed by John Najjar. He was also responsible for the 1955 Lincoln Futura show car and the mid-engine Ford Mustang I experimental sports car of 1962. Much of the car's appearance and styling cues were later used on the Lincoln Premiere, Lincoln Capri, Mercury Montclair, Ford Crown Victoria, and other Ford and Mercury products during the mid-1950s. The concept model was built by Creative Industries of Detroit on a modified Mercury frame with a 1954 Mercury {{convert|312|CID|L|1|abbr=on}} V8 engine with dual exhausts.[2] It features a low fiberglass body with much of its trim was also made out of chrome plated fiberglass and an interior with four bucket seats.[3] In 1957 Ford gifted the XM 800 to the University of Michigan's Automotive Engineering Lab for use in training "future" automotive engineers.[4] After the automotive school closed the show car was auctioned to a private individual who stored in a barn, but never returned.[2] It was sold again and stored for almost 30 years before being sold on 2008.[4] The car was restored and made operational and finally drove under its own power in 2009.[5] Subsequently, the car was auctioned in 2010 for $429,000.[6] It was shown at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=1954 Mercury Monterey XM-800 - Review |url= https://www.supercars.net/blog/1954-mercury-monterey-xm-800/ |website=Supercars.net |date=19 April 2016 |accessdate=20 December 2017}} {{Mercury vehicles}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Mercury Xm-800}}2. ^1 {{cite web|last=Vaughan |first=Daniel |title=1954 Mercury Monterey XM-800 Concept |url= https://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z7469/Mercury-Monterey-XM-800-Concept.aspx |website=Conceptcarz.com |date=March 2011 |accessdate=20 December 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Mercury XM-800: 1954 |url= http://cartype.com/pages/3195/mercury_xm-800__1954 |website=Cartype.com |accessdate=20 December 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=1954 Mercury XM 800 Concept for sale on eBay |url= http://www.carscoops.com/2008/04/1954-mercury-xm-800-concept-for-sale-on.html |website=Carscoops.com |date=4 April 2008 |accessdate=20 December 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Reader's Galleries: 1954 Mercury XM-800 Concept Car |url= https://www.hemmings.com/users/155243/gallery/1723.html |website=Hemmings.com |accessdate=20 December 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=1954 Mercury XM-800 Dream Car - Automobiles of Arizona 2010 |url= https://www.rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/AZ10/Automobiles-of-Arizona/lots/r130-1954-mercury-xm-800-dream-car/202709 |publisher=RM Sotheby's |date=2010 |accessdate=20 December 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|last=McCausland |first=Evan |title=2012 Chicago: 1954 Mercury XM-800 Concept Still Working Auto Show Circuit |url=http://www.automobilemag.com/news/2012-chicago-1954-mercury-xm-800-concept-still-working-auto-show-circuit-108773/ |publisher=Automobile Magazine |date=9 February 2012 |accessdate=20 December 2017}} 3 : Concept cars|Mercury vehicles|University of Michigan |
