In 1950, Mercury produced 8,341 examples of the two-door convertible which sold for $3,400. Power was from an L-head V8 engine with a cast-iron block, and 110 horsepower. A three-speed manual gearbox was standard with the Touch-O-Matic automatic available as optional equipment. Other options available included a radio, power windows (which were standard in the convertible), heater, two-tone paint, whitewall tires, and power seats. An oil bath air cleaner could also be purchased.
1950 was a big year for the Mercury marque, as they produced their one-millionth vehicle. They were invited to pace the Indianapolis 500 as the official pace car, and they won two NASCAR Grand National races during the year.
This example is a 1950 Mercury Convertible with many features and accessories including power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power antenna, power top, heater, Dakota digital dash, stereo, side skirts, custom grill, aluminum radiator, and Radial/White wall tires. | |
