Check out this stunning custom 1950 Mercury Eight Lead Sled! This magnificent Mercury is finished in a drop dead gorgeous Emerald Green Metallic paint, which gives a very rich look to the sexy lines these Merc Lead Sleds are known for. Wide white wall radial tires wrap steel wheels with chrome center caps .....
and beauty rings. Fender skirts, an unchopped roof, and windshield visor finish off the exterior of this show ready Mercury.
The interior is as clean as they come with custom Green and Tan ultraleather upholstery with hand painted faux wood trim. On the dash you will see the Vintage Air A/C and heat controls, an AM/FM/Bluetooth radio, and the AirRide controller. The install is very clean and minimalistic as to not detract from the original beauty of the 1950 Mercury interior. The steering wheel features a green almost holographic Mercury Man in the center cap, and matching green on the steering wheel and handle of the column shifter. This Mercury also has a push button start for a nice modern touch.
This sleek Mercury is powered by a powerful Cadillac 472 CID V8 engine bored .030 over with a mild Comp Cams camshaft installed. The shifting is handled by a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Power front disc brakes, power steering, A/C, and AirRide on all 4 corners make this a dream to cruise. Hit the road with a stock stance and slam it down low once you get to your destination. Drop the car and watch the jaws drop as it takes on that slammed lead sled look! You are sure to have people taking pictures, asking questions, and offering to buy this beauty everywhere you go.
Everywhere you look there is something else to drop your jaw. Even underneath where an Art Morrison frame with a 4-link rear end setup, stout Ford 9” rear end, built in driveshaft loops, tubular control arms, dual exhaust with Borla mufflers, and rack and pinion steering make this a next level build!
Under the hood is show ready with a super clean engine compartment where the 472 is the star of the show. The valve covers and Cadillac air cleaner are painted to match the exterior of the car, while the inner fenders are the same beige of the interior and steel wheels. Everything on this car ties together beautifully. A Be Cool aluminum radiator looks great and keeps this big block cool! Headers direct the exhaust gases out through dual exhaust with a terrific sound. If you're in the market for a one-of-a-kind Mercury Lead Sled, look really hard at this custom piece. It is almost certain to bring home trophies and plaques everywhere you show it!
