Back
to the 50's, there's nothing quite like a 50 Merc custom
coupe that's been tastefully modified. The classic factory
lines have invited modifications to suit personal taste
for decades, some chopped so radical that you could not
even get a pop can thru the side window to one's like this
beauty that only enhance its original style. Smooth, sleek
and low, now that's Kool :-)...
Ready to rock right out of the box, the slick body
features a deep red finish and the roof has not been
chopped while much of the factory bright work remains
intact. Light mods include frenched headlights, shaved
door handles, smoothed bumpers, hood & rear deck, blue dot
taillights and peep mirrors...
Under the hood resides a genuine Ford Flat-Head V-8 hopped
up with some nice period style Hot Rod dress. Rapidy-Rapp
performance goodies include aluminum Edelbrock cylinder
heads, aluminum Offy intake manifold, dual Stromberg 97
carbs, Fenton headers with dual exhaust, Mallory
distributor, Beehive oil filter, 12V Alternator, factory
flex fan and back-up electric cooling fan. Shifting the
gears is a factory 3 on the Tree manual transmission,
factory overdrive and rear differential...
Moving inside you will find a nicely sewn 50's Diner style
interior wrapped in white Naugahyde with red piping on the
seats, headliner and door panels. The dash remains just as
designed, factory gauges, steering column and trim with
under dash mounted temp gauge, glove box mounted audio and
rear disc player. Study the highly detailed photos,
narrated HD video and enjoy! It's a Honey... |
