Vehicle Description
1949 Mercury 2 Door Coupe Survivor for sale, Award Winner Original
Documents The first postwar Mercury was introduced in the 1949
model year. The engine was a flathead V8 that produced slightly
more power than the then also newly designed 1949 Ford. The styling
of the Mercury Eight, when it was released in 1949, adopted the
"ponton" appearance, and was successful in both ending the monotony
of warmed-over pre-war style, and differentiating Mercury from its
comparable Ford cousin, a trick that spelled sales success. Sales
figures for both Ford and Mercury broke records in 1949. The
Mercury Eight used full instrumentation. An 8 tube radio was
optional. It's not often you can find an outstanding original
unmolested 1949 Mercury Coupe. This Mercury received the Survivor
Award at the 2010 Survivor Collector Car meet and Awarded AACA
Survivor Badge at the AACA 2013 show. With only 63,000 miles
showing on the odometer this V8 flathead Coupe runs and drives like
it should. The doors close tight with the slightest push and the
solid closing sound of a quality Mercury. It has an excellent
original interior with a radio, heater and clock. Accessories
include fender skirts, stainless gas door guard, dual exhaust, wide
whitewall tires, a driver side spotlight and dual front fog lamps.
A tight and beautiful driving classic 2 door Coupe. Fantastic
documents include the Original Bill of Sale, Original Service
Policy, Original Battery Warranty leaflet, Original Owner's Manual,
Original Mercury Styled Accessories catalog, the large Mercury
Dealer Model book still in its original Mercury envelope along with
the smaller Mercury dealer showroom book and two Survivor Award
Certificates. After 56 well maintained years it still retains all
its original floors and original rocker panels. If you are looking
for a beautiful original uncut 1949 Mercury to add to your
collection or to enjoy driving "the" car of its era then this is
the one. Additional Details: -
