BODY OVERVIEW:
This 1948 Mercury Eight coupe wears its classic curves proudly. The body appears clean and straight, with the kind of unmistakable presence only a late-1940s American coupe can offer! Chrome trim and brightwork are presentable and period-correct. All of the “unobtanium” trim pieces are present, and in good original condition, giving it that extra edge!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:

It’s the kind of finish that still turns heads without making you nervous to drive it!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
