1950 Mercury Monterey Lead Sled

Description

You're looking at the ultimate lead sled. This 1950 Mercury Eight Monterey has been customized with an awesome burning hot look, a true hot crate motor under the hood, and a well-done custom interior to make sure you look absolutely cool driving it. And you can really tell they took the time to get this icon right. It's in everything from the smooth lines of the chopped roof to how the fob-operated door poppers help announce the full custom interior. And because the full build was completed only about 2600 miles ago, it continues to look just as stunning as the pictures. So check out the detailed style that represents the ultimate classic custom coupe.

This was a professional build that's said to have taken three years to complete, and we understand exactly why. Getting the paint and body correct is a long process, however, it takes longer when you want a thoughtful build. And details like body-hugging bucket seats, a tilt steering column, plumbing for A/C, and all the modern supporting components for the crate V8 make for an overall solid driving feeling that tells you this coupe was made to cruise. So while you'll love discovering all the little style pieces (did you notice how the blue pinstriping outlining the flames is also all around the full body?) it's the overall substance that makes this one irresistible. So when you want a lead sled stunner that's also a true cruiser, call today!
