Mercury was one of those brands under the Ford umbrella in the United States. Positioned in the mid-range segment, the brand bid adieu to the world in 2011. Over their 85-year existence, Mercury has made some lovely classic cars that are highly desirable today. This 1950 Mercury Coupe is one such example. It reportedly underwent a restoration in 2011 and has 50,000 miles to its name. It's also a restomod of sorts, as it's got a newer engine and some creature comforts.
This 1950 Mercury Coupe is decked out in an eye-catching yellow, a very Fifties color. America was moving away from the blacks and dark shades of the Forties, with the Fifties debuting colors such as yellow, Robin's egg blue, and mint green. A closer look at this car reveals some intricate and artistic detailing around the nose- and tail-mounted Mercury badges. The car rolls on a set of whitewall tires and features the semi-faired-in rear wheels that are another Fifties and Sixties hallmark. The fairings can be removed to aid in tire changing, in case you were wondering. Inside, we find a cozy black cabin with bench seats and a beautiful Art Deco-styled dash in contrasting red. The seats have seat belts for added safety. An air conditioning unit has been installed, which will be a blessing on hot days. Even infotainment has received a shot in the arm, courtesy of a Kenwood head unit mounted in the glovebox. It offers AM/FM radio, CD playback, a USB input, and an AUX port. The original push-button radio remains visible on the dash for aesthetic purposes. We also spot an aftermarket console box that adds two cup holders. Further details of note include the original book in the glovebox and the original gauge pack within the dash. Popping the trunk also reveals a similarly pristine outlook.
This 1950 Mercury Coupe is propelled by a newer 350ci Chevy V8 that no doubt gives it a much-needed power boost when driving the rear wheels through its automatic transmission. The current owner tells us that the gas lines have been totally redone, so you needn't worry about gas leaks.

The 70s was a dark time in the American automotive industry; the large American machines were soon to be axed off their production lines for smaller, efficient motoring; this was all due to the impending oil crisis. With smaller efficient imports taking control of the market, the 1970 Mercury Monterey Convertible we have today perfectly represents the last living giants.
If you were flush for cash back in the 50s, you sure were spoilt for choice; visiting your local dealer was a treat as you gazed upon the golden era of the American automotive scene. While the Chevrolet of the time was the name of the game when it came to luxury motoring, the adventurous car buyer could opt for something you wouldn't see too often and drive off in a car like this 1953 Mercury Monterey we have today. Built to stand out, this classic American machine aims to turn heads and represent a time gone by.
The Mercury Cougar has worn many hats. Initially debuting as a more upscale pony car, it has also been a personal luxury car later in its life. Sadly, the name bowed out in 2002 and hasn't been seen since then. That's why vehicles such as this first-generation 1969 Mercury Cougar are important pieces of American history. They also make fine classics for those dipping their toes into the world of Sixties and Seventies cars. What's even more appealing is that this car packs just 41,102 miles and still bears its original engine.
Mercury is another great American automotive name that has fallen by the wayside. Founded by Edsel Ford in 1938, it was intended to sit between the Ford and Lincoln brands. By 2011, the brand was defunct, but there's no need to shed tears because along the way, Mercury gave us some greats. One of those was the Cougar. It straddled the lines of a pony car and a personal luxury car. And that's why, if you're a Cougar or Mercury fan, this first-generation 1968 Mercury Cougar will be of particular interest. The car has done a tad over 100,000 miles, highlighting the fact that it's meant to be driven. However, these cars are sturdy and reliable, so you need not be apprehensive at its six-figure mileage. The current owner reports that it's received new tires and an oil change, too, further easing any concerns you may have. Let us tell you more about this piece of Sixties history.
The first-generation Mercury Cougar is one of the best ways to experience classic American muscle. Based on the first-generation Ford Mustang, the Cougar presented a different, more European-inspired take on the platform. The Mercury featured hidden headlights and a stretched cabin, making the car three inches longer than the Mustang. It remains a solid choice for anyone considering something different from the norm. Our featured car offered for sale includes the original 302ci V8 engine and has convenience features such as air conditioning and upgraded upholstery. With a reported mileage of 74,710, this maroon red 1968 MY Mercury Cougar is an excellent example of classic pony car.
By its third generation, the Chevrolet Corvette was already a well-known icon within the landscape of American motoring. The C3, introduced in 1968, retained its sleek and muscular appearance, adding a few more curves to the design, with a bit of European flair injected into its philosophy. It was still distantly Corvette. The C3 was also the first model to introduce a Targa top to its coupe models, a feature that would remain a popular element that reappeared over the ensuing generations. The C3 was also the first Corvette to serve as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500—the first in a long tradition of Corvette pace cars that would appear for the iconic race. Our featured car is a 1975 Chevrolet Corvette with the 350ci V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission, and features a few choice performance upgrades.
When the 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe was first introduced, their commercials referred to it as a completely new look that time can not wash away. Sure enough, even after a number of decades, the Chevrolet Impala remains a car that is accepted to be beautiful from every angle. Another interesting fact about the 1965 model year is that they improved the Jet Smooth Ride with a new chassis and suspension design and made it standard equipment in every model. To this day, its ability to make you feel like you are hovering above potholes is said to surpass the comfort of contemporary city cars. This 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe, with a recently installed engine, bears only 1,000 miles on the clock.
There are few cars that can embed themselves into popular culture the way the achingly beautiful third-generation Chevrolet Impala has. The model featured many design flourishes that epitomized the ’50s and ‘60s, including the car’s long and flowing lines, low roof, lashing of chrome, wrap-around windshield, and distinctive c-pillar design. The car we offer for sale here takes the traditional Impala recipe and adds so much more. Under the hood, you’ll find a modern GM LS V8 engine, which just so happens to have a supercharger strapped to it for good measure. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS restomod has undergone an extensive restoration and features a host of new parts and upgraded tech. It could be yours, with just 2,500 miles recorded since the restoration was completed.
