Description
The quintessential lead sled, this 1949 Mercury Eight has been tastefully customized in the traditional California style. The roofline is cleanly chopped 4 inches. Fitted with a 255 flat-head V8 with dual Stromberg 97s, lake pipes, and a French'd grille. The burgundy pearl paint shimmers under any light. Full custom interior in matching burgundy and ivory with pleated upholstery and a Monarch steering wheel. Hydraulic suspension provides that silky low ride. One of the cleanest traditional kustoms you will find.
