1951 Mercury Custom 2-Door Coupe

History

The Mercury was a full-size automobile that was the first model produced by Mercury and was produced from the 1939 through the 1951 model years. It was the only model offered by Mercury until the marque started producing multiple series in the 1952 model year.

The 1951 Mercury Custom 2-Door Coupe we have at Adventure Classics is modified into a custom street rod most call a lead sled. It has been customized with so many features it is hard to see them all at first glance.

Engine & Drivetrain

Under the hood you will find the Merc being powered by a 350 cubic inch Chevrolet small block V8 engine with a lot of chrome and polished parts including chrome valve covers, chrome open element air cleaner assembly, an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, performance aluminum intake, headers, dual exhaust, performance electronics, and is backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission.

It rides on steel wheels with chrome Mercury hubcaps and thin white sidewall tires to give it the great ride and correct period looking stance.

Interior

The interior is brilliantly done in a plush body color matching maroon velour twin bucket seat with console in the front, with matching door panels and the matching rear seats.

It has an aftermarket AM/FM/stereo radio and speaker system, cup holder center console with a pull-down center armrest, maroon carpet, leather wrapped steering wheel, factory painted dash with factory gauges and controls, dice-themed controls, as well as the fuzzy dice hanging from the rear-view mirror.

Exterior

The first thing most people notice on this Merc is the total fifties look of the car with the maroon paint showcasing the chopped top, louvered hood, fat fenders, and rear fender covers.

Throw in the side striping, dual chrome mirrors, shaved door handles, dual chrome spotlights, custom grill, chrome bumpers, and side-pipes and you have one slick period-correct fifties classic Merc!
