Vehicle Description
You're looking at the ultimate lead sled. This 1950 Mercury Eight
convertible has that awesome classic cruiser look that comes from
customizing it over every inch. But more than just representing the
ultimate in classic custom cars, this one has been given more
recent investments that include a powerful crate V8, an overdrive
transmission, and air conditioning. So it's the kind of vintage
icon that you'll love driving in modern times.
Take one look at the body. This Mercury has all the great traits of
the legendary hot rods like the frenched headlights, shaved door
handles, lake pipes, and a lowered suspension. Plus, that black
paint retains the sleek style of a quality classic build. And
adding to the shine is the custom grille/bumper package, crystal
clear headlights, bright wheel covers, and correct side trim. The
windshield was chopped to make sure it has the sleek profile this
iconic street machine deserves. You even have a lift-off hardtop if
you really want to show off how this Mercury gets low. And the look
of the white roof is ideal as both a timeless contrast to the black
and a match for the whitewall tires. It all makes for the
thoughtful kind of total package you expect from the best custom
Mercury machines out there.
The full custom interior is a terrific reason to keep this one open
to the world. The black and white of the exterior is retained, and
now it's intertwined with a bold red. A beautiful tuck and roll on
the seats, side panels, transmission tunnel, and rear deck really
capture the feeling you want on a 1950s machine like this. Even the
trunk is fully done in this custom theme. More than just stylish,
this car is comfortable. You have power windows, fold-down
armrests, and an AM/FM/CD stereo is hidden in the glovebox. There's
even a Vintage Air air conditioning system installed so that you
can stay comfortable with the top off. There's a cool black and
white sports steering wheel on a tilt steering column, and that
gives you a clear view to the full gauge package in this
cruiser.
The engine bay continues this car's thoughtful and show-ready
style. The smooth inner walls of the engine bay draw added
attention to the full polished presentation in the middle. And
you'll love the details everywhere from the upgraded pulleys to the
pinstriping on the air grabber. This is a 350 cubic-inch ZZ4
performance small block that the consignor says was installed only
about six years and 2,500 miles ago. And because this is the kind
of classic that wants to easily cruise everywhere, you have a
four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. There's also a
Nova-style front suspension, trailing arm rear w/sway bar, power
steering, power brakes, and front discs.
This lead sled drives with the comfort and confidence you want in a
quality build. So if you're ready to hit the boulevard tomorrow,
you need to call today!
