Custom car culture runs deep with the 1949 Mercury Coupe Lead Sled.
The stunning Burgundy Red Metallic finish amplifies every curve of
the extensively modified body. Traditional chopped roof proportions
lower the roofline dramatically, while frenched headlights, dual
spotlights, and custom stripes add period-correct modifications.
The custom grille gives a distinctive front-end look, complemented
by Cadillac-style tail lights for a classic touch. Sitting on 15"
Cadillac wire wheels wrapped in 205/75R15 tires, this Mercury
combines timeless custom elements with real road presence.
The tan interior mixes vinyl and cloth on the split-bench seat for
comfort on longer drives. Red painted dashboard surfaces extend the
exterior theme into the cabin while housing clear, legible gauges.
A Grant steering wheel offers excellent control, while an
aftermarket Sony radio with Bluetooth capabilities adds modern
audio to this classic cruiser. Luxury features include power
windows, power seats, and a tilt wheel for optimal driving
position. The mix of vintage style and useful upgrades makes a
comfortable, functional cabin.
The 472 cubic inch V8 pushes substantial power through a TH400
3-speed automatic transmission. Topped with a Holley 4-barrel
carburetor, this powerplant gives excellent performance. The engine
bay looks great with red-painted valve covers, intake manifold, and
inner fenders for a unified appearance. A Champion aluminum
radiator with dual electric fans keeps temperatures down, while MSD
ignition gives consistent spark. HydroBoost-powered front disc
brakes handle stopping duties, and side-exit exhaust with electric
dump controls adds a throaty sound when wanted.
