1951 Mercury Woody Station Wagon

Description

Stunningly restored 51 Merc Woody. Ground up about 5 years ago. Nothing spared. Mostly correct to original although some upgrades in the interest of drive ability and reliability.A full 12 volt system was added including an alternator which looks similar to original. Also added was a modern radiator and includes an electric fan. Switch able from the drivers position. As the temp gauge in the panel stopped working an aftermarket underdash unit was installed. The original radio not only works but was restored with added power as well a device input to use with your phone, pad, or pod. All other electrics work fine.All locks are functional including the tail gate and glove box lock.Center seat articulates to create floor space if desired.
Original Flat head V8 with 3 speed manual trans. Engine starts on first spark plug fire, and runs so smoothly and quietly its hard to tell its running. Dual exhausts with quiet mufflers.Trans shifts perfectly, like new. Brakes were restored and work as they should.All doors close tight and gaps are perfect. Hood springs hold hood up without any other assist.

Perfect. Not one wrinkle.The finish is two part enamel and is mirror finished. No runs or chips, could have been painted yesterday.
