Description: Presenting a stunning 1949 Mercury Custom, a true masterpiece of American automotive history. This iconic "Lead Sled" embodies the creativity and craftsmanship of returning GIs from WWII, who revolutionized car customization by chopping tops, rounding corners, recessing lights, and lowering bodies to achieve the sleek and unmistakable look that defines this classic.
With its striking yellow exterior, this coupe turns heads wherever it goes. The top has been chopped four inches, enhancing its aggressive stance and low-profile aesthetic. It rides on a front and rear-end Camaro, ensuring a smooth and stable driving experience. Power disc brakes from a 1973 Nova provide reliable stopping power, while the booster and master cylinder come from an '89 Mustang. The radiator, sourced from a '78 Dodge van, ensures optimal cooling performance.
Under the hood, a robust 327 V-Angle engine powers this classic, delivering exhilarating performance. Paired with an automatic transmission, this Mercury Custom offers a seamless and enjoyable driving experience. The bullet hubcaps from a 1957 Cadillac and the grille from a 1953 Desoto add a unique vintage flair, making this vehicle truly one of a kind.
The tan interior features power seats for added comfort, making every ride pleasurable. This car has been meticulously maintained, with no rust present, and includes detailed paperwork documenting its extensive build, complete with receipts and pictures.
This Mercury Custom is more than just a car; it's a rolling piece of history and a tribute to an era of automotive ingenuity. Whether you're a collector, an enthusiast, or someone looking for a show-stopping ride, this timeless classic is an investment worth making.
Don't miss your opportunity to own a legendary "Lead Sled." Embrace the spirit of the open road with this extraordinary 1949 Mercury Custom.
