1948 Mercury Street Rod Convertible
Car History
If you are looking for a Mercury street rod convertible, your
options might be limited, but we have a very nice one that is a
great running and driving 1948 Mercury Street Rod Convertible with
a silver exterior and blue convertible top, and powered by the
iconic Ford Flathead engine, here at Adventure Classics.
This Mercury is street rodded with great options. Mercury
convertibles are rare as it is, and to find one that has been
redone like this is really rare.
Engine & Drivetrain
Like we mentioned earlier, this Merc is powered by a modified
iconic Ford Flathead engine with dual carbs sitting on an
Offenhauser aluminum intake and heads and wearing chrome
open-element air cleaners.
It has modified ignition components, Offenhauser valve covers,
performance spark plug wires, chrome radiator tubes, and a reworked
radiator and fan system. The factory cast iron exhaust headers
flows into the dual exhaust with twin chrome tips exiting the rear
with a great throaty sound.
Routing the power to the rear is handled by a smooth shifting
automatic that is shifted on the column and this was built to be a
cruiser as it rides on and 5-spoke mag wheels and black sidewall
tires that give this drop top an undeniable presence everywhere
from the cruise-in to the car show.
Interior
The blue interior is expertly upholstered on the seats, door
panels, and even the carpeting for an awesome style you'll love
showing off. The dash is filled with not only the right factory
gauges, but it has the factory clock and accessory gauges too.
You will sit on a pair of blue bucket seats as you steer with the
blue padded steering wheel mounted on the steering column with
billet door and window handles, blue carpet, and blue floor
mats.
Exterior
The blue folding top looks timeless against the silver paint, but
for true distinction, you're going to want to open this one up to
the world.
The silver paint is applied well on the body panels that Mercury
shared with some of the iconic Ford's style, but you will gaze at
the Merc's intricate chrome front end, sweeping fenders, rockers,
and the cool taillights.
Conclusion
Mercury produced a low number of these cars back then, so chances
are you will not find a great running and driving vehicle painted
grey with a black convertible top, and powered by the iconic Ford
Flathead engine, like the 1948 Mercury Street Rod Convertible we
have here at Adventure Classics.
