This 1950 Mercury Eight Club Coupe was refurbished under previous ownership and was acquired by the seller out of North Carolina in May 2017. The car is finished in red over tan vinyl and is powered by a rebuilt 255ci flathead V8 paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes six-barrel Stromberg induction, Offenhauser cylinder heads, an Offenhauser intake manifold, Fenton exhaust headers, electronic ignition, fender skirts, and a heater/defroster. The top end of the engine was rebuilt in 2018, and service in preparation for the sale is said to have included adjusting the valves and the timing, rejetting the carburetors, and replacing the spark plugs.
The body was refinished in red under previous ownership and features chrome bumpers with guards, full-length body-side spears, peep mirrors, and fender skirts.
Body-color 15″ steel wheels are fitted with chrome trim rings and center caps as well as Coker Classic whitewall tires that were mounted in 2018.
The interior—which was refreshed under previous ownership—features bench seats trimmed in tan vinyl with matching door panels and red carpeting and lap belts. Equipment includes a heater/defroster and a push-button AM radio.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a full horn ring and fronts a body-color steel dash with a 110-mph sweep-style speedometer and gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and battery status. The five-digit odometer shows 77k miles.
The 255ci flathead V8 is equipped with a trio of Stromberg 97 two-barrel carburetors with progressive linkage, an Offenhauser intake manifold and cylinder heads, and Fenton exhaust headers flowing into a dual exhaust system. Service in preparation for the sale reportedly included rejetting the carburetors, adjusting the valves and the timing, and replacing the spark plugs.
A top-end rebuild of the engine in May 2018 included polishing the valves and valve seats, fabricating a heater core, and replacing the cylinder-head gaskets, the thermostat housing, the fuel pump, the distributor, the spark-plug wires, the drive belts, and the radiator hoses. An overhaul of the six-volt positive-ground system in 2019 included installation of an electronic ignition as well as replacement of the coil, the distributor cap, the rotor button, the starter solenoid, and the battery cables.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. The shift linkage and the rear tail-shaft seal were replaced at the time of the engine rebuild, as was the differential gasket.
