Vehicle Description
You instantly know this 1948 Mercury Eight is a unique build just
by the vivid paint. But as you dig into the details, you're going
to love how this one respects the iconic style while also giving
you terrific upgrades. So check out the dual-quad V8, comfy A/C
interior, four-wheel disc brakes, and all the other pieces that
make this a thoughtful custom build.
The red paint may have a timeless appeal, but they could have never
come up with anything as deep and glossy as this finish. This
modern application does an even better job of letting the sunlight
reveal all your favorite curves. Mercury shared some of the iconic
Ford styling, but they also had a ton more brightwork to showcase
their more premium side. So it's great to see a shining
presentation of the intricate chrome front end, sweeping fender
trim, form-hugging rocker brightwork, and cool wraparound tail
lights. And as you look at this one up-close, you can even
appreciate the quality in fundamentals. The hood and trunk line up
nicely, the lights are clear, and the glass is clean. And you'll
love all the classic cruiser details like the whitewall tires, full
wheel covers, and polished exhaust tips. It makes for a thoughtful
total package on a true icon of American motoring.
The red returns inside, and now it's joined by a stylish silver.
The two-tone is expertly intertwined on the seats and door panels
for an awesome style you'll love showing off. Good carpeting, a
nice headliner, and a smooth dash are all part of more recent
investment in the fundamentals. Even the dome light greets you when
the door opens. But a car like this is meant for far more than just
a display. Cold-blowing air conditioning, power windows, tinted
glass, and an AM/FM/CD/XM stereo make for a comfortable cruiser for
everyone. Plus, you know it's a true driver's car with upgrades
like a Lecarra steering wheel, a tilt column, and white-faced VDO
gauges upgrade.
One look at the engine bay, and you know this has been given a nice
upgrade, too. This 350 cubic-inch crate motor is believed to be a
ZZ3 performance setup. Plus, when it's time for performance, this
inhales deeply with dual Carter four-barrel carburetors on top. And
it exhales with a nice V8 tune as headers feed the glasspack-style
dual exhaust. You'll even spot the right supporting components,
like good belts, good hoses, an electric fan, and an MSD ignition.
As you look underneath, the Mustang II-style independent front end
and four-wheel power disc brakes make for a better drive. And the
cruise control and a three-speed automatic transmission make it one
of those elite classics that are easy to enjoy even on longer
trips.
It's a coupe that attracts a lot of attention, but the enthusiast
who will enjoy it most is the one sitting behind the wheel. Make it
yours today!
