Vehicle Description
1950 Mercury 2 Door Club Coupe This CLASSIC ANTIQUE vehicle was
purchased by the current owner about 20 years ago, and is being
sold as part of the owner's estate. The car was one the owner's
favorites, and was kept in all original condition as well as
meticulously maintained. The actual mileage is unknown, but it
underwent some restoration before this owner purchased the vehicle.
The vehicle has been stored indoors, and started regularly. The
vehicle still retains the 6 volt electrical system, and all the
gauges function. The original engine was damaged and replaced with
a 239 Flathead V8 short block using the original Mercury heads,
intake and pan. It is estimated to develop 105 HP with a single 2
barrel carburetor. The engine starts and runs very smoothly. The
engine and compartment are nicely detailed with the factory air
cleaner. The transmission is a 3 speed manual with overdrive, so it
travels nicely at highway speeds. Photo of the oil gauge is with
the engine running. The chassis is in very good condition. There is
no rust on the undercarriage, but some aging has occurred and it is
due for a little detailing. Tires are wide white walls mounted on
factory rims with full factory wheel covers. 4 wheel drum brakes
are featured. The interior upholstery is in like new condition made
from original factory material, with rubber floor mats. The dash
and door trim are blue with blue and grey door panels and an off
white headliner, all in excellent condition. Chrome handles, knobs,
Steering Wheel and trim are all excellent. A heater, signal lights,
a push button factory AM radio and Clock are also installed. The
exterior paint is virtually flawless. This club coupe has deluxe
features including chrome trim around all the glass, and stainless
body side molding. Front grill, both bumpers and hood ornaments are
all very good to excellent. All the lights and lenses including
backup lights are excellent. Rear fender skirts add the final
finishing touch.
