This 1951 Mercury woodie wagon is finished in black with wood paneling over red leather and is powered by a 255ci flathead V8 paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a 12-volt electrical system, 15” wheels, an AM radio with auxiliary input, and dual exhaust outlets.
The steel bodywork was repainted in black under prior ownership, and the wood panels were refinished at that time. Features include chrome bumpers and a driver-side mirror. The taillamps feature hinged mounts and are repositioned with pushrods when the tailgate is lowered.
Black 15″ steel wheels wear Mercury-branded hubcaps and 215/75 Coker Classic whitewall tires. The split-folding rear tailgate features a covered spare wheel.
The cabin features a split front bench and two rear benches upholstered in red leather. The door, tailgate, and side panels are trimmed in wood, and the black carpets feature red piping. The AM radio has reportedly been modified with an auxiliary input.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a horn ring and frames a 110-mph speedometer, auxiliary gauges, and an analog clock. The five-digit odometer shows 15k miles.
The 255.4ci flathead V8 features a single downdraft carburetor with an offset factory air cleaner. The electrical system was converted to 12 volts, and an alternator and electric radiator fan have been added.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.
