Mercury introduced its first all-new post-World War II designs on April 29th of 1948 as a 1949 model, and for the first time in the company's history, the designs were not styled to look like upscale Fords. They shared their basic body shell with Lincoln and were lower and sleeker than the Fords.
This particular example is finished in Berwick Green with a green cloth and tan tweed interior. It left the factory with an oil-bath air cleaner, a clock, radio, heater, driver-side spotlight, front and rear bumper guards, grill guard, fog lights, dual exhaust, and 'Mercury Eight' full-wheel disks. It was delivered on October 14th of 1949 to Joliet Lincoln-Mercury Sales in Joliet, Illinois and its final sale price was credited $700.46 on the trade in of a 1940 Ford Sedan.
In the Spring of 2017, this Mercury Coupe was acquired by Bob Jones. It remains in unmodified condition except for a repaint in its original factory color by a previous owner.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2022
