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.
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.
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.

Mercury was Ford’s mid-tier division, intended to sit between mainstream Ford and luxurious Lincoln. Sadly, this brand is no more, as it bid goodbye to the world in 2011. One of their hits during the Fifties and Sixties was the Monterey range of full-sized automobiles. Named after Monterey Bay, the lineup included coupes, convertibles, hardtops, sedans, and station wagons. Today, we’ve got a classic 1951 Mercury Monterey Coupe for sale, with over 61,000 miles reported to its name and the original owner’s manual included with the sale. It’s a great classic car for those who want to sample ’50s motoring, as well as preserve a piece of American automotive heritage.
Mercury is an American automaker that has long since been mothballed. But the storied brand has been pivotal in the development of America's automotive landscape. The brand was sat between Ford's mainstream lineup and the more luxurious offerings of Lincoln, while the Town Sedan was a medium-priced entrant to the lineup. It was the mid-market family car of its day, and offered a four door sedan in a conventional yet timeless design. Our featured car has reportedly been meticulously restored and features a host of new components that should ensure trouble-free running for many more years to come. This 1939 Mercury Town Sedan features a 350 cubic inch V8 engine, an automatic transmission, and a reported 55,000 miles on the odometer.
With its name derived from Monterey Bay, the same inspiration for the famous Monterey Jack cheese, the Mercury Monterey was a full-size automobile by Mercury that was available between 1952 and 1974. Mercury itself, the mid-tier luxury division of Ford sat between Ford and Lincoln, and, sadly, was retired in 2011. So, this is one of those classic American names from a defunct manufacturer. That only adds to the cachet of this 1953 Mercury Monterey. The fact that its maker is no more only adds more to the car’s value, as does its Flathead V8, auto gearbox and mere 1,700 miles. A discerning collector will have no hesitation in snapping up this car, while a budding collector should seriously consider acquiring it sans delay.
Now here’s an interesting little Ford roadster for you open-topped driving fans out there. Built in Broadmeadows in Melbourne, Australia, the Mercury Capri’s third generation was sold between 1991 and 1994. Mercury, a division of Ford, wanted to create something to rival the Toyota MR2 and Mazda MX-5 Miata. The third-generation Capri was the result, and we’ve got one here today. Say hello to this 40,090-mile 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo from Louisville, Kentucky. With its fizzy turbocharged engine and manual gearbox, it’s quite an interesting proposition to add to your garage.
Hang on…isn’t Capri a Ford model? Well, yes that was the case in many markets outside the United States. But back home in Detroit, Ford had several sub-brands. Mercury was one of them, and in 1970, Capri was too. Initially, it was what was called a captive import that was imported from Ford of Europe and sold merely as a Capri. No Ford or any other parent branding was borne on the car. In 1979, things changed for the second generation of the American Capri. Capri was now a model under Ford’s Mercury division and based on the famous Fox platform. So, it was basically like a Fox Body Mustang with different styling. This generation was made as the Mercury Capri between 1979 and 1986. Today, we’ve got one of these curios in the shape of a Connecticut-residing 1985 Mercury Capri Grand Sport. This 26,000-mile car is up for sale and comes with some neat performance enhancements. We’re told that the car features its original body and paint, and even includes the original booklets with the sale.
This 1938 Hudson Terraplane Rat Rod is a bold fusion of pre-war American design and modern hot rod engineering. Built on a 1971 Chevrolet ¾-ton chassis, this custom creation abandons originality in favor of strength, capability, and unmistakable presence. The rat rod philosophy is fully embraced here, combining an intentionally weathered appearance with serious mechanical upgrades underneath. Powered by a 355ci V8 and riding on modern suspension components, this Terraplane delivers a driving experience that is raw, aggressive, and purpose-built. It is not a restoration, but rather a carefully executed custom hot rod designed to stand apart from conventional classics.
The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
The 1940 Ford range came in various body styles, including two and four-door sedans, coupes, convertibles, station wagons, coupe utilities and even a utility van. Typically, in Ford parlance, the term Tudor referred to a two-door variant, usually a sedan or station wagon. So, as you can glean, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod is a two-door machine, but that’s not all. You see, this Morgan Hill-based car has received a thorough makeover, including a more potent powerplant, a searing red coat of Viper Red paint, a refurbished interior and so much more. Plus, it’s traveled just 3,150 miles since then, making it a fine vintage Ford to add to your life, especially as it’s pretty comfortable and easy to drive with all those upgrades under its belt.
