For Sale: 1949 Mercury Eight in Halton Hills, Ontario

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.
