From around 1956 until the mid 1980s, Dodge, Plymouth and even Chrysler squads were the most ubiquitous police cars in North America. In fact, the biggest department, the NYPD, used Plymouth and Dodge squads almost exclusively until the rear-drive M body car was finally axed in 1989.
The no-frills Savoy two-door sedan was home to another engine of considerable repute, the infamous 413 Max Wedge, a Super Stock monster block Chrysler introduced in the spring of 1962.
Classic Car Overview
Heres a minty green 1950 Mercury coupe with serious personality, V8 power, and loaded with cool/rare options. Its such an interesting car it spent nearly a quarter-century as a museum piece! This is the legendary series that everyone loves to make into hot rods, so its even more impressive to find a well-preserved/restored example that loves to shine like nostalgia. It follows close to the factory-correct Maywood Green, but now it has a nice metallic element that loves the light. In fact, this one is all about looking good. This coupe was in a Texas museum from 1995 until this year, and so it loves being a showpiece. Spending time in the spotlight also means the brightwork looks great. The bumpers are mirror-like, the grille has an intricate electric shaver look, and the full-length side trim almost looks unbroken across the straight body panels. Plus, the white roof and wide whitewalls make for a subtle two-tone. And while youre looking at the white parts, dont forget to spot the coordinating sunshade. While thats a cool and rare 1950s option, an even rarer one is the rear window wiper thats on display! The two-tone tan interior is more of that pure 1950s cool. And youll love details like the striped inserts in the cloth seats. Even the trunk looks period-correct, right down to the mat and whitewall full-size spare. Like any good American cruiser, theres plenty of room to share the experience with family and friends. It has a terrific time capsule like presentation with the bright dash that even has the original AM radio is still on display. But in these Mercurys the driver really was the king. Thats why you not only got the artful steering wheel and speedometer, but also all the essential controls including lights and heater were just a fingers length away. Under the hood is exactly what you want to see Flathead V8 power. Mercuries were popular, because these 255 cubic-inch motors had extra displacement and extra torque over what was available at Ford during the time. And this legendary powerhouse looks authentic, right down to the oil bath air cleaner and bright blue block that almost matches the exterior paint. And while this was a museum piece, the fresh look of the belts, wires, and hoses tell you this has been treated correctly. And the way it fires up eagerly affirms it. This V8 makes a nice sound out of the glasspack dual exhaust, and you have the added control of the classic column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Plus, theres Touch-O-Matic overdrive another rare option. Complete with owners manual, this is the coupe you want if youre looking to turn your garage into your own museum. So if you love a classic stunner, call today!
