1949 Mercury sports sedan

Description for Mercury Other 1949

RARE MERCURY MODEL with 255 factory flathead V8 paired with three speed overdrive. One repaint of the factory Berwick green exterior. Very few blems, doors fit and close like new . Spotlight WORKS. Prior owner states that the car was owned by a Lincoln Mercury dealer in Virginia, his personal car(mileage is actual on current and prior title) and inherited by his grandaughter after his death at 98 years old.. He further states that the motor was rebuilt (seldom an oil drip) along with the carb, brakes including the master cylinder. Car does not smoke, use oil, cranks on first turn over with great oil pressure.. New tires including spare with hubcap. Nice mellow dual exhausts. Note the trunk interior with the factory elements.New headliner and carpet-probably came with rubber mat. I have not pulled up the new interior but prior owner states the original interior is covered under the current vynal. Note the brightwork and chrome-bumpers are perfect- dash gaues are bright and shinny and easy to read-note the pristine condition of the gas filler area. Touch up paint can on back seat.I have owned a 50 and 51 model but the 49 seems to hold the magic charm. DRIVEN WEEKY, call with questions. 864-580-1597
