Ford Model T 283 CID V8 1923
General description :
This awesome 1951 Mercury Sport Sedan is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. The 51 Mercury was the end of an era for the Mercury Eight series of vehicles. The last generation to share the name sake the 48-51 was the first post war car for the company and was a success to say the least. There curvaceous lines are one of the most iconic cars to come out of Detroit. This extremely clean well restored example is one of the nicest back to original Mercs I have seen. All the chrome was replaced with new from S&S and is truly the statement piece of the car. The black paint is fresh and slick leaving no room for error on the body work side of things. Open the door and the two-tone interior is just as nice as the rest of the car. With black accents and dark gray body, it really gives the car a factory look. The dash is detailed with the chrome breaking up the black dash. Although you would never know by looking the radio has been adapted over to take a MP3 player or cellphone and run it through the stereo, the first I have seen. Under the hood its back to the 50’s technology with the flathead being believed to be original to the car. A fresh clutch and transmission backs the 255 CID flathead with the three on the tree shift pattern guaranteeing a blast down memory lane every time you throw lever up into the next gear. If you have been wanting a great classic that has plenty of room for you and all your friends this 51 Mercury is the perfect car.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
