Vehicle Description
This 1947 Mercury Eight Convertible, one of only 7,600 produced
that year, sports an Anniversary Red paint job that exudes classic
American style. The vibrant hue accentuates the car's flowing lines
and chrome trim, creating a striking profile. A white cloth top
adds a crisp contrast, folding down to reveal the open-air
experience this cruiser was built for. The exterior is further
enhanced by 15-inch Boyd Coddington wheels, wrapped in 205/75R15
tires, providing a touch of modern flair to this vintage ride.
Front and rear, the transverse leaf spring suspension setup,
complemented by a 4-inch drop axle up front, gives this Mercury a
purposeful stance that's ready for the road.
Inside, the beige leather interior offers a luxurious environment
that's both inviting and stylish. Bucket seats provide comfort for
extended drives, while the column-mounted shifter adds a
period-correct touch. The dash, adorned with clear, easy-to-read
gauges, puts all necessary information at the driver's fingertips.
An AM/FM CD player with a 12-disc changer tucked away in the trunk
bridges the gap between vintage aesthetics and modern audio
capabilities. The white convertible top, when raised, features a
glass rear window, ensuring clear visibility and adding to the
car's overall refinement.
Powering this Mercury is a high-performance flathead V8 engine,
built with precision and power in mind. Edelbrock aluminum 24-stud
heads and a Schneider racing cam work in harmony with Ross forged
pistons to deliver impressive performance. Fuel delivery is handled
by a single 4-barrel carburetor, while Fenton headers feed into a
dual exhaust system for a robust exhaust note. The engine's power
is managed by a C4 3-speed automatic transmission, paired with a
rare Columbia 2-speed overdrive rear end, offering versatility for
both city cruising and highway driving. Stopping power comes from
front Wilwood disc brakes ensuring confident deceleration.
