1949 Mercury Series 9CM 2-Door Coupe - Unleaded Merc Garage Kept
Motors is pleased to offer this sleek Mercury Coupe, that has owned
by the current owners since 1976. Some striking features include
Maroon Metallic paint, white walls, chrome grille, fender skirts, a
Ford Flathead V8.....all that's missing is a malt and a 10-cent
hamburger. This Mercury is from the era when cars were really cars,
with loads of character and charm. The car is finished in a custom
Dark Candy Red-like metallic paint. The interior features matching
upholstery on the seats, headliner, and door panels. �Take a seat
behind the wheel and you'll find a '3-on-the-tree' manual shifter,
clear factory gauges, push-button radio, and some chrome trim. �A
few tasteful small parts added to both the exterior and interior of
the car give a hint of custom lead sled or hot rod styling, while
keeping the flowing factory lines of this special Mercury Coupe. No
channeling, chopping, or lead added on this one! Rust-free and
ready for a new garage to call home. This Mercury has been with the
same owners for the past 43 years who have taken great care of the
car. The car is all original other than the custom paint and
interior. �Both those areas were updated in 1983. The Ford Flathead
V8 was rebuilt in 1967 and still fires up on command. Brake shoes,
wheel cylinders, radiator, master cylinder were replaced recently.
This coupe is a great car to drive and gets attention wherever it
goes. The three-speed manual transmission shifts easily through the
gears, and the engine hums right along. Roll up your sleeves, slick
your hair back, hop in this Merc, and take a cruise to the diner! �
