1950 Mercury Custom Chopped Top Lead Sled

Description

1950 CustomMercury.We bought the car in May, 2009. It's been garaged in a smoke free garage since then. No one has smoked in the car. We've driven it and put thousands of dollars into restoring and customizing it. It is a beautiful car, one worthy of the looks, the oohs and awws, and the trophies it has won. It has been in magazines and a 2013 calendar. It is currently insured by Hagerty for $90,000. We have over $150,000 in this beauty, backed with receipts and documentation for all the work we've done.Shown at Hot August Nights.16 trophies, including many for Best in Show, Best Lead Sled, Best Custom, and People’s Choice.Clean. Typical wear from 10 years of driving – we enjoyed the car – she wasn’t a trailer queen. See pictures of examples ofcracks typical in customized body work after 10 years. There are some bubbles/rippling at the bottom of the driver’s door – hard to see in pictures.We began therestoration in 2009 and completed it in 2012.

We are glad to see the interest in this beautiful car. The reserve is low compared to what we have in the car and the insured value. We want potential buyers to have a full understanding of the work that's been done, and we understand what the car sells for will be a fraction of what we have in it. It is priced to sell.
