The 1951 Mercury is more than just another classic car; it is a rolling piece of Americana that captures the spirit of its age-a time of boundless optimism and forward-looking design. With its distinctive styling cues that continue to influence automotive aesthetics to this day, robust performance characteristics that defined an era's motoring experience, and a collector's appeal that only grows with time, this vehicle remains an enduring icon worthy of admiration.-metrommp.com This 1951 Mercury 6-passenger Convertible Coupe featured in a brilliant Everglade Green metallic exterior finish, a coordinating two-tone tan interior, tan top with boot cover and is riding on wide whites. The power for this Mercury is provided by the legendary 255 cubic inch Flathead V8 motor mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. This Mercury convertible was restored over a two-year period in the early 2000's and has been lightly used since based on the overall condition of the exterior paint and interior. The Everglade paint shows very well with only a few minor imperfections. The hood has been louvered, and the trunk lock shaved to exemplify the hot-rod culture. The trunk lid is currently being held down by its own weight although there are some parts provided to install a popper. The 255 cubic inch Flathead motor with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor sitting on top of a Offenhauser manifold comes to a quick start with the aid of an electric fuel pump and idles smoothly as it breathes through shorty headers connected to a dual exhaust system. The interior of this Mercury shows very well with a two-tone tan theme on the leather seating and coordinating vinyl door panels. Additional upgrades for this interior include a floor mounted 3-speed shifter, power windows and an under dash Sunpro temperature gauge. The tan Stayfast power top with chrome frame and supports works properly and stores away neatly with a boot cover, unfortunately there is a tear in the top as can be seen in the photographs. When opening the trunk lid you will be welcomed by a neatly finished interior. This rare and beautiful Everglade green Mercury 6-passenger Convertible Coupe would be welcomed in any enthusiast's garage.
