For Sale: 1951 Mercury Eight in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Maxmotive is on Cloud 9 to bring you this nifty 1951 Mercury Eight Coupe Custom from our Pittsburgh showroom. It sports the correct 255ci Flathead V8 and the optional Mercomatic 3-speed automatic transmission. This quintessential lead sled is a rolling 1951 Mercury Accessories catalog. It not only comes with the original 1951 Owner's Manuals (for both USA and Canada) and Accessories Catalog, most of the items in the catalog have been installed on the car. Some update the car, others customize it. Cool items like the Chrome dual Exhaust Extensions, Road Lamps, Exterior Visor, Fender Shields, Custom Steering Wheel, and Wheel Trim Rings add to the custom feel of the car. While the Back-up Lights, Gas Tank Lock, Non-glare Rearview Mirror, and Windshield Washers bring this Merc up to date for safe driving today. Other goodies do both, like the Seeing-Eye Spotlight or the dual Outside Rearview Mirrors. But the Daddy-o of them all has to be the dash mounted two-speed Record Player. You can spin the wax to help you relax! And the car makes its own music as well with the programmable Whoopie Horn that plays patriotic, country, pop, or school songs. Finished in Tomah Ivory, it looks sharp with all the gold trim, chrome, and hand-applied pinstriping. The color scheme is carried inside with white seats and yellow trim, with thick carpeted Mercury floor mats. Extras include a chrome tissue dispenser and a Moon gas pedal. Cruising in style also means dependability. Savvy upgrades such as a Mr. Gasket fuel regulator, MSD ignition, Optima battery with 12V alternator, and an electric cooling fan help keep you moving whether on the highway or in a parade. A car that inspired its own genre in the automotive world, here's a beautiful 1951 Mercury Eight Custom that has been loved in the same family for many years, and is now offered for sale at Maxmotive.
