Classic Car Overview

--Black with Light and Dark Grey Upholstery, Grey carpeting, 255ci Flathead V8 Engine, Manual Column shifted gearbox with overdrive, 65,000 miles from new, Award winning. For 1949, Mercury introduced its third-generation design as its first postwar line. The first models released under the combined Lincoln-Mercury Division, the Mercury Eight now shared its body with the Lincoln. Keeping its 118-inch wheelbase, the third-generation Mercury was sized between its two divisional counterparts. Substantial modernization was made to the chassis, While the rear axle remained leaf-sprung (with more conventional longitudinal springs), the front suspension was independent with stabilizer bars. The Flathead V8 (resized to 255 cubic inches) made its return, producing 110 hp. A new overdrive system was optional, activated by a handle under the dash. An 8 tube AM radio was introduced as an option; full instrumentation was added to the dashboard. This Mercury Eight has had three owners from new and the most recent owner has owned for 20 years. It is in exceptional condition throughout, Inside, outside and detailed underside. Features include column shifter with overdrive, Flatbed V8 with dual throat carburetor, stainless steel dual exhaust, factory gauge package (Oil pressure, Fuel, Speedometer, Amps, water temp), Rear wheel spats, period exhaust tip deflectors and Vent windows (on doors and rear quarter panels). Discreet electric fuel pump installed for cold start prime helps in effortless starting, great exhaust note from the flathead V8 and a AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) Senior national first prize award winner. Bringing back thoughts and memories from a bygone era, weather you enjoyed watching Happy Days, American Graffiti, The Outsiders, Two lane Blacktop or Grease this Mercury two door is unmistakable as an American icon.
