Summary:
Used 1953 Mercury Custom 49,312 miles
Location:
Manitowoc, WI
Description:

All vehicle trades considered including classics and performance. We can assist with financing and shipping as needed. Here is a nice deal on a true classic. This 1953 Mercury Custom sedan harkens back to the brands glory days, when upscale styling clearly distinguished Mercury from its less expensive Ford cousins. It is a very sharp car that still turns heads today. But underneath it is much like a Shoebox Ford, meaning it is straightforward and reliable with a good support network. It all makes for an attractive car that offers a nice ride and is easy to live with, and at a price far below so many other classics. This automobile shows 49,312 miles. The underside and body are straight and solid without any signs of trauma. Be sure to see the photos of the door jambs and undersides; they speak to the quality of this car. The exterior wears an attractive repaint in its original code 12 Pinehurst Green. Note the distinctive Mercury elements such as the simulated hood scoop and slant back rear end which help give this model some extra flair. All the chrome and moldings appear original and are in exceptional condition for their age. The 15 red steel wheels wear brand new radial tires along with the correct Mercury wheel covers. Power comes from a 255 cubic inch Flathead V8. This engine was factory rated at 125hp which was a bit higher than the 239ci / 110hp Ford versions thanks to the Mercurys longer stroke and higher compression EAC heads. The engine received a recent tune-up along with a rebuilt Holley 1904 carburetor. This car is also equipped with a Merc-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission (which was their version of Fords Cruise-O-Matic). Introduced in 1951, this was the first automatic transmission for both brands. The car starts easily and runs smoothly, and it retains the factory 6V electrical system. The brakes have recently been serviced with a new master cylinder, shoes, wheel cylinders, and hoses. It also received a front-end. Still available at ListedBuy!
