For Sale: 1950 Mercury Eight in Greene, Iowa

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.
