STK 3545 1950 Mercury Eight

This Mercury Eight Sport Sedan has been the recipient of a full restoration and is a rare example of this classic. The owner states that the odometer milage of 49,500 is actual. The lazar straight exterior was refinished in 2-tone - original Dune Beige with a Taupe roof/trunk lid. All of the chrome is in outstanding condition and accents include a stunning hood ornament, classic '50's chrome grill and 15" factory wheels w/caps that mount Firestone whitewall radials. There is also a full windshield sun visor and rear fender skirts. The restored brown/beige cloth interior is art. Upholstery, door cards and headliner are all in excellent condition. The stunning dash holds the original push-button AM radio (needs TLC) and a full set of working factory gauges. Windows are power assisted, carpeting is plush and there are dome/map lights. The classic steering wheel is beautiful and directional signals are integrated on the steering column. Horsepower is provided by a 255ci flathead V8 that was rated at 112hp/206lb-ft w/Holley 2-bbl carb. Everything under the hood looks better than original and the factory 6-volt electrical system is fitted with dual batteries. The big flathead runs beautifully and torque is transferred to a 3-speed manual gearbox w/column shift. The chassis is equipped with front coil/rear leaf spring suspension, manual steering, manual drum brakes and a new fuel tank. A set of repair manuals is included with the car. This Mercury sedan is a stunning, functional example of a classic Merc Eight sedan. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
