Vehicle Description
It's time to look a little deeper at this 1962 Mercury Comet. It
has a true classic charm, but there have also been the right
investments. Gleaming chrome, a fresh interior, and well-integrated
upgrades (like a Bluetooth radio) keep this vintage Mercury a
quality cruiser.
This Comet has a great classic look. The bodywork is quite
straight, and the white paint has a good gloss to show off the
well-presented curves. The hint of tailfin was a great design of
the jet age that we love on a lot of classics. But Mercury took
this theme a step further. After all, the sweeping side trim looks
like the vapor trail of a fighter jet, and the tail lights are
inspired by its afterburners. Even the dual front fender ornament
are like the crosshairs for getting missile lock. There's also more
great brightwork with the chrome bumpers, clean grille, clear
headlights/bezels, and upgraded polished wheels.
A crisp white continues inside, but now it's just used for a
tasteful accenting against a sharp blue style. You can really tell
there was a solid investment on the seats, door panels, and the
fundamentals to have this looking fresh and premium. The seat
material feels so premium that we believe it could be leather or at
least ultraleather. Some of the carpeting is even still wrapped in
plastic. And power locks are a very cool feature to have. The
steering wheel and gauges have that true vintage look to make sure
you get the right vintage feel. But while the radio looks like a
1960s piece, it lights up to show its really an modern AM/FM
digital tuner with USB and Bluetooth. So you get the best in modern
driving music in this classic Comet.
The engine bay is home to another one of those great classic
details. It's the unmistakable sight of the long block of a 170
inline-six. We all know there's plenty of room to fit a big V8
under here, but it's already pretty nice as is. There was a good
investment to get this motor to a show-ready level of tidy, and
quite frankly, people are going to marvel because they just don't
see these too often. It's easy to get to the show, too, with a
motor like this that loves to run. A smooth shifting automatic
transmission and modern cruising tires are all part of a great
driving package.
This Mercury offers a terrific mix of vintage and investments to
deliver an all-around appealing cruising classic. So at a price
like this, you know you need to hurry on this deal. Call
