    I owned one in 1967 my senior year in highschool. Loved the back seat at the drive-in😎.

    My mom drove one of these to high school in 1956. She could fit the entire cheer-leading team in that car!

    These Mercurys from 1949 to 1951 were the best looking cars sold at that time in my opinion. It is hard to even find a picture now of one that isn't chopped and lowered. This is one beautiful car Jeff, thanks for sharing !!

    Super sweet Merc, brings back memories of the 50 Merc I had back in 58. Was a great ride.

    It's nice to see an original unchopped Merc like this. It's got it's own charm.

    The 49 - 51 Mercury was the looker. Better looking than the Fords or the Lincolns of the time.

      It was the first car that my Dad ever owned. He said he blew out first gear trying to do burnouts. They definitely make nice looking customs too.

    Jeff I appreciate you putting up this great video. I love these 50 Mercury sedans. I remember them as a kid and they were beautiful cars. Even stock the flathead V8's had a nice sound to them. The 50 Mercury is one of my dream cars to own. Take care Jeff.

    When I see these, I can only ever think “police car” rather than “chopped roof”

    When I was a kid I made a plastic model of a 49 Mercury, like you said a chopped top. Cool car and ride.

    The flathead V8s did have a inherant over heating problem due to the exhaust flow in the engine block. The two rear cylanders ran hot and would often burn exhaust valves...and they wold vapor lock often.

    I agree it's damn nice to see an old Merc that hasn't been molested. Electric fan on a 6V car? That will have me scratching my head for a while.

    It's a rare Mercury being a factory stock car. It's in beautiful shape.

    • @RamblinAround
      @RamblinAround  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for taking a look at it. It is rare to find one that has been left alone these days.

    Very cool , first car I drove as a kid was my fathers 51 Mercury 2-door that he dropped in a 312 and 3-speed on the floor.

    This is exactly the same as my first car. I was too young for a driver's license so I just drove it around the farm. My father had a 1950 coupe in blue. My first road car was a white 1959 Ford convertible I bought for $200 in 1965. If I had only known what they would be worth today.
