1951 Mercury Series 1CM Navigation
The Mercury station wagon was a 2-door style with real wood affixed to a metal substructure. It would be the last Ford-produced station wagon that would qualify as a real 'Woody.'. Mercury produced just 3,812 examples of these wagons in 1951. Power came from a Ford flathead V8 displacing 255.4 cubic inches and offering 112 horsepower.
This Mercury Woody Wagon was sold new in Mexico in September of 1951. It remained in Mexico for most of its life, only leaving in (approximately) 2013. The dry climate has helped preserve the vehicle and it retains all of its original metalwork. It has been given an amateur restoration that includes an engine rebuild, new chrome and interior and total re-spray in maroon.By Daniel Vaughan | Jul 2016
