Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 22nd year in the
classic and muscle car business. As America emerged from WWII,
automobile stylists were forced to dust off their prewar designs
because arms production had supplanted auto manufacturing during
the war. The race was on for a new look that would capture the
hearts and wallets of the rapidly expanding middle class in postwar
America. Ford, as well as their Mercury division, was the first of
the 'Big Three' American manufacturers to cash in on the new
'envelope' bodies that blended fenders and doors into one cohesive
form. Mercury's version became so iconic that most of these
classics have been customized beyond restorable condition, leaving
very few original examples. This magnificent 1950 Deluxe Six
Passenger Coupe (M72-B) is a beautiful exception to that trend. A
rust-free cream puff from Los Angeles that a prior owner kept for
49 years (!), this stunning specimen is painted Royal Bronze Maroon
and sports the Tan and Brown Stripe Bedford Cord (55) interior.
Additional features include the original silky smooth 255 ci
flathead V8 (8CM) with correct Ford-Holley carburetor, 3-speed
manual transmission with optional overdrive, optional 8 tube AM
radio, and appropriate wide whitewall tires. Please note the
outstanding condition of the chassis, engine compartment,
upholstery, trim, and paint in the images. Here's a fun fact: you
can hear the clock tick with the engine running! A vintage Allstate
Car Cooler (evaporative) with the original box and instructions is
included with purchase. Another top-shelf classic from the Texas
Hill Country's premier source for classic vehicles. Street Dreams
(830-997-1950) is a full service dealership that can assist with
worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options.
