Overview of 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe For Sale by Owner

The Mercury Eight is a quintessential example of what cars in the Thirties and Forties looked and drove like. Mercury was a division of Ford that sat between the Ford and Lincoln brands. However, it was retired in 2011, after over seven decades of existence. That means if you buy a Mercury today, you’re buying a piece of automotive history to behold. That’s why we’re glad to present this 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe Restoration for your consideration. Featuring an upgraded engine, this Fontana-based classic car is definitely suitable for anyone interested in American classics from defunct brands, who are also seeking something towards the restomod spectrum of things.

Exterior and Interior

This 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe Restoration is definitely a restomod, judging by its custom paint job that sees shades of purple and blue masterfully mixed into a final product that’s alluring in any light. The car’s low-slung, swoopy design has been further accentuated by its shiny silver chromed alloy wheels and chrome tailpipes at the rear. You’ll also note the shaved bumpers for that clean look, as well as the prominent chromed grille that just screams vintage. The interior of this 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe Restoration is a custom job in tan and black. The dashboard retains much of its vintage vibe, as does the white thin-rimmed steering wheel with chrome ring. However, the center console hosts the control panel for the car’s Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system, as well as a Sony radio with CD player and USB input. You’ve also got an aftermarket rear-view mirror for safer driving in today’s traffic conditions.

Engine

This 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe Restoration sees a 350ci Chevy V8 under the hood, presenting you with an interesting dilemma, since Chevy and Ford have always been competitors. The engine has been endowed with a blower for even more power, and drives the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. We’re also informed that the car sports dual Holley carburetors, a chrome radiator and even an aftermarket chrome fan for that extra bit of glitz and glamor.
