LEAD SLED Rebuilt 350 - A/C
STK 3492 1950 Mercury Eight
The Mercury Eight was the first and only model produced by Mercury from 1939 through 1951. The first post-war model was introduced in 1949 with distinctive 'pontoon' styling. This fully enclosed body appearance ended the monotony of warmed-over pre-war styles and sales figures for both Ford and Mercury broke records in 1949. During that era, and beyond, the stylish 'Lead Sled' Merc Eight has always been popular with customizers. This '50 Mercury Eight Coupe has been fully restored with many custom and mechanical upgrades. It received a 2-stage coat of Bright Red (1998) accented with period-correct fender skirts, dual spotlights and steel wheels w/caps, trim rings and wide-whites. All of the chrome, and there is a lot of it, is in very good condition and the doors are fitted with 'poppers'. The interior has been nicely restored in cream vinyl. The front seat is power assisted and a handsome dash is equipped with full factory instrumentation and original radio. The headliner, door panels and carpeting are all in very good condition and a custom floor shift has been installed. Climate control is managed by a professionally installed air-conditioning system and a beautiful '50 Merc steering wheel completes the package.
The Mercury is powered by a nicely dressed, rebuilt 350ci Chevy small-block with aluminum intake and Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. A heavy-duty aluminum radiator has also been installed and exhaust is routed through a custom dual system. This power plant is backed by a GM 3-speed automatic gearbox and factory differential. Both steering and braking are power assisted with large drums on all four wheels. A front sway bar has been installed and all electrics have been upgraded to a 12-volt system. This is a classic Mercury Eight 'Lead Sled' Coupe with a custom design that was well thought out and carefully implemented - it is literally timeless. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
