Vehicle Description
Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the
classic and muscle car business. As America emerged from WWII,
automobile stylists were forced to dust off their prewar designs
because arms production had supplanted auto manufacturing during
the war. The race was on for a new look that would capture the
hearts (and wallets!) of the rapidly expanding middle class in
postwar America. Ford, including their Mercury division, was the
first of the Big Three American manufacturers to cash in on the new
envelope bodies that blended fenders and doors into one cohesive
form. This classic 1951 Mercury Eight Deluxe Six Passenger Coupe is
a fine example of these historically important cars. Lift the
deeply sculpted hood and you'll see the 350 V8 crate engine that's
sporting a Holley carburetor, a GMPP aluminum intake manifold,
headers, an aluminum radiator, and HEI. Additional features include
power rack and pinion steering, power front disc brakes, Vintage
Air A/C, 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with O/D, a Fatman
Fabrications front clip with adjustable coilover shocks, a new
wiring harness, custom interior, tilt steering column, a digital
Kenwood audio system, twin period correct Mercury spotlights made
by unity Mfg. Co., correct Black paint (01), non-functional
Lakes-type pipes, and classic wide whitewall tires (7.10-15)
wrapped around reverse chrome wheels with Baby Moons. This
sweetheart really looks the part and is exponentially safer and
more comfortable than when it was new. Another cool cruiser from
the Texas Hill Country's premier source for classic cars and the
team that can make your dream a reality. Brylcreem and penny
loafers not included. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full
service dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery,
insurance, and financing options.
