Vehicle Description
1949 Mercury Mystique
VIN: ONLINE202403
This 1949 Mercury Mystique is a classic custom build with a chopped
top, 350 Engine, Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 Automatic Transmission, and
independent front suspension. The Steering has been converted to a
new Flaming River rack and pinion setup and it has a Ford Rear End
on a lowered suspension w/rear air shocks, and there are a set of
Lake Pipes and Rear Wheel Skirts for the perfect look.
Customized Mercury coupes were cruising America's boulevards long
before the term "low rider" was even coined. During the late 1950s
and throughout the 1960s, legions of customizers removed excess
chrome, "frenched" headlights and taillights, and filled body
seams. Bodies were sectioned and chopped for a sleek look.
Highlights of this car include:
Dual Mercury spotlights, shaved handles and Frenched in light
buckets, recessed antenna, Front split bench and custom interior
with a nostalgic clean look. All new Auto-Meter gauges, under dash
lights a new stereo and a working CB. 12 volt electric system,
whitewall tires, front custom spinner look hub caps, full rear
skirts and a few more subtle upgrades. The car is wired and plumbed
for Vintage Air and just needs the compressor.
This is an older restoration and the car has been was owned by an
older couple for the last 42 years. The car is very clean with no
visible rust. There are a few chips from over the years but nothing
that would stop you from being the envy of most local shows. This
1949 Merc is ready for a drive anywhere and looks great from every
angle.
