Vehicle Description
1949 Mercury Custom Coupe This mildly customized Mercury turns the
calendar back to the '50s. Nosed and decked, with the iconic visor
and fender skirts, this flawless body still rides on the original
rust free Mercury frame, and it has not been dropped or chopped.
This magnificent car cannot be described in a few paragraphs. The
deep Mediterranean blue metallic paint seems perfect for this
nostalgic ride. Steel skirts grace the rear wheel openings, and the
trunk lid is operated by an electric popper in the glove
compartment. This is a very reliable, easy-to-drive ride that is
not a low and slow parade car, but a modern freeway cruiser that
could be used as an every day driver. It features power steering
and power disk brakes to make it as safe as it is good looking. You
can walk around this car as much as you like and you won't find any
major flaws. And the beauty is not just skin deep. Slide inside
this ride and you will find big, comfortable two tone vinyl seats,
a flawless headliner and lush carpets with no wear. The coveted 49
Mercury dash escaped scavengers to remain intact, and an updated 12
volt electrical system and gauges provide the vital engine
statistics. The trunk is upholstered in the same vinyl materials as
the interior and is operating room clean. The steering column
supports a banjo steering wheel, and the coupe has a top shelf
AM/FM/CD sound system and Vintage air conditioning and heat. Under
the hood, a strong 350 CID Oldsmobile V8 provides the motive power.
It is hooked to a TH350 automatic transmission and 10 bolt GM rear
end running 3.50:1 gears. It has a great rumble to the exhaust, and
wide whites put the rubber to the road. Of course, everybody's
favorite Lancer spinner hubcaps are just right for this Merc. In
short, it is powerful, economical, maneuverable, and magical. There
is not a square inch of this machine that has been neglected in
making it one of the nicest cruisers you will ever find. It can be
driven anywhere
