Vehicle Description
This 1949 Mercury Eight sedan is part of the legendary series that
everyone loves to make into hot rods, so it's even more impressive
to find a stock-style example that loves to evoke nostalgia. It has
some classic cruiser upgrades like the cross-bar hubcaps and dual
exhaust tips, but no one is going to call this a lead sled.
Instead, it shows off the classic style that made the attention
grabbers in the first place. The grille has an intricate electric
shaver look and this sports sedan came standard with suicide doors.
There are even terrific details, like the whitewall tires, rear
fender skirts, full-length trim, vent windows (front and rear),
wraparound tail lamps, and the factory-correct Alberta Blue color.
And as you get inside, everything from the striped cloth upholstery
to the working AM radio loves to turn back the clock to 1949. And
because this has the size and style to make it an excellent
cruiser, you'll absolutely love the way the flathead V8 fires up
and runs. So take some extra time checking out a classic that is
truly rare for respecting the history that has made it an icon.
