One of the iconic models from the immediate post war era, the 1951 Mercury Sport Sedan is thought to be one of the best looking Mercury of those years thanks in part to its Lincoln inspired styling.

One thing all three Ford nameplates shared was the famous Ford flat head V8 engine which was nearing the end of its useful service. What sets the Mercury Sports Sedan's engine apart is the larger displacement at 255 cu. in. and different carburation. That flat head V8 still runs very smoothly in this sedan. Shifting is by a column mounted three speed.

This striking Maroon four-door sedan underwent a high quality and complete restoration in 2006. The interior is cloth as it should be because this car was restored to be totally original. One of the most interesting features of this Sports Sedan is the suicide doors.

Thanks to custom car shops and hot rod enthusiast original 1951 Mercury sedans are hard to find in this condition.

ESTIMATE: $25,000 - $30,000
