Vehicle Description
When it comes to the classic hot-rods of the 1950s, few are more
iconic than the Mercury's lead sleds. This 1950 Mercury Eight fits
the description perfectly, with its low-slung profile and classic
frenched headlights. The previous owner also owned the car for the
past fifteen years! Powered by a 255 C.I. Ford "Flathead" V8
breathing through a 2-barrel carburetor, this '50 Merc has got all
the punch it needs to be a fantastic cruiser. Torque is put to the
pavement through a "3-on-the-tree" 3-speed manual transmission,
which allows for plenty of smiles behind the wheel as it shifts
seamlessly. The exterior is covered in Dark Red Metallic paint,
which, being 20-plus years old, still looks very nice with some
minor imperfections. It matches up beautifully with the chrome trim
adorning the windows and especially that toothy custom grille,
which gives this Mercury Eight a seriously badass appearance. In
addition, the bodypanels are all rock-solid and in great shape.
Opening the twin doors reveals a startlingly-stunning two-tone
cloth interior, complete with comfy red-over-gray bucket seats with
fold-down center armrests! Options on this sweet '50 Merc include a
custom front grille, factory gauges, a custom interior, the
original AM radio still in the dashboard, an aftermarket AM/FM/CD
stereo system, dual spotlights, a power antenna, power-adjustable
seats, a heater, vent windows, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust
system. The car rides on a slick set of factory-style 15" 3-bar
spinner chrome wheels over whitewall tires for a classic hot-rod
look. This Mercury Eight has a fantastic stance, and it runs and
drives down the road wonderfully. With this custom's appearance,
it's sure to turn heads anywhere it goes, so don't let it pass you
by! We'd love to see it in your driveway.
