Vehicle Description:
This stunning 1951 Mercury Custom epitomizes the classic lead sled style with a modern twist. The vehicle has been extensively modified and restored to deliver both style and performance. Here’s a detailed look at this impressive build:
Exterior:
The Mercury features a meticulously applied dark silver paint that beautifully showcases the car’s curves. Custom lighter silver flames with teal tips add a striking hot rod flair. The roof has been chopped a few inches to enhance its sleek profile. Other custom details include frenched headlights, frenched blue dot taillights, deleted body trim, and a refined grille. The 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels with a wider rear set contribute to the coupe’s aggressive stance.
Interior:
The interior is harmoniously matched with the exterior, featuring plush gray leather upholstery. The high-back bucket seats are power-adjustable for individual comfort. The cabin includes custom door panels, a smooth dash, clean carpeting, and a nicely finished headliner. Modern comforts such as power windows, cruise control, and cold-blowing air conditioning are integrated seamlessly. The upgraded audio system includes an AM/FM/XM stereo with Bluetooth and a fold-out screen. Additional features include a Flaming River steering wheel, tilt column, and a full AutoMeter gauge package.
Engine and Performance:
Under the hood is a powerful 502 cubic-inch V8 engine, one of the largest crate motors available, featuring RamJet fuel injection for optimal power and consistency. The engine delivers impressive muscle and a sweet rumble through glasspack-style dual exhausts. The custom chassis includes a large aluminum radiator with electric fans to maintain optimal temperatures even in traffic with the A/C running. Additional performance features include power steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel power disc brakes with rear drilled rotors for superior stopping power.
Summary:
This 1951 Mercury Custom combines classic lead sled aesthetics with modern performance and comfort upgrades. It is a standout vehicle that turns heads with its distinctive custom paint, powerful engine, and luxurious interior. Whether you’re looking for a show car or a high-performance street machine, this Mercury is an excellent choice.
