Description:

1949 Mercury 50's Custom Convertible.
This is a real convertible, customized in the early 50's. The car was purchased by my father in the early 50's after returning from Korea. The car was customized in southern
Wisconsin. This car needs a total body and mechanical restoration. It has rust holes in the floors and trunk outers. Rockers are gone and fender corners have holes. Frame is rusty.
It does not run. I have not tried to get it running due to I do not want to damage some of the vintage speed parts on the engine. The motor may be frozen. The last registration plate
on the car is 1962. It has only been driven and run in the mid 1970's, where I got it running and drove it for a school project. The car has been sitting for 53 years. The motor was
rebuilt before it was put in storage and I really don't know why my Dad put it away.
