Please visit www.Survivor-Cars.com for additional photos,
information and a video. 1949 was the first post-war production for
the Mercury and featured a redesigned car that stood apart from its
counterpart at Ford. This example looks great in two-tone paint
with wide white wall tires and suicide doors. Under the hood is the
factory flathead V8 which is paired with an AOD automatic
transmission. These cars are very cool left stock, or make great
lead sleds! Cloth interior with bucket seats and a Lokar shifter
make this Mercury a comfortable cruiser. During the 2008
restoration the original flathead was given a power boost with an
Offernhauser intake with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor providing the
fuel. A dual reservoir master cylinder has been added along with a
new GM 2-wire alternator, Lokar emergency brake, electric fuel pump
and more! New white wall tires were installed, the wipers were
converted to electric, the original radio was converted to AM/FM,
and the car received all new glass. This car comes with great
documentation for the restoration, which was performed by Kool
Kustoms in Orland ME. The car has been converted to a 12-volt
system as well. This vehicle is eligible for an Extended Service
