This 1947 Mercury Eight Convertible, one of only 7,600 produced that year, sports an Anniversary Red paint job that exudes classic American style. The vibrant hue accentuates the car's flowing lines and chrome trim, creating a striking profile. A white cloth top adds a crisp contrast, folding down to reveal the open-air experience this cruiser was built for. The exterior is further enhanced by 15-inch Boyd Coddington wheels, wrapped in 205/75R15 tires, providing a touch of modern flair to this vintage ride. Front and rear, the transverse leaf spring suspension setup, complemented by a 4-inch drop axle up front, gives this Mercury a purposeful stance that's ready for the road. Inside, the beige leather interior offers a luxurious environment that's both inviting and stylish. Bucket seats provide comfort for extended drives, while the column-mounted shifter adds a period-correct touch. The dash, adorned with clear, easy-to-read gauges, puts all necessary information at the driver's fingertips. An AM/FM CD player with a 12-disc changer tucked away in the trunk bridges the gap between vintage aesthetics and modern audio capabilities. The white convertible top, when raised, features a glass rear window, ensuring clear visibility and adding to the car's overall refinement. Powering this Mercury is a high-performance flathead V8 engine, built with precision and power in mind. Edelbrock aluminum 24-stud heads and a Schneider racing cam work in harmony with Ross forged pistons to deliver impressive performance. Fuel delivery is handled by a single 4-barrel carburetor, while Fenton headers feed into a dual exhaust system for a robust exhaust note. The engine's power is managed by a C4 3-speed automatic transmission, paired with a rare Columbia 2-speed overdrive rear end, offering versatility for both city cruising and highway driving. Stopping power comes from front Wilwood disc brakes ensuring confident deceleration.
