Published by Mike on May 2, 2017

1951 Mercury two-door Sport Coupe, model 72B, for sale. From the seller’s description:

Mercury 2Dr Coupe. It’s not often you see a 51 Mercury Coupe this pristine and original. A true time capsule car, this Mercury has only 42,000 miles since new. The interior shows very little wear, all instruments and radio are in working order. Transmission is 3 speed with overdrive, clutch is smooth, shifting is quiet and effortless. Original Flathead V8 is so quiet you can’t hear it run. Chrome is original. The Yosemite Green paint was resprayed 20 years ago and still looks fantastic. Cruises the speed limit effortlessly. This zero rust car is 100% reliable and needs nothing. Fly to Atlanta and drive it home, anywhere, I have owned this car 20 years, it was always garaged and pampered, it has never given me a lick of trouble. I love motorcycles, so I can trade for motorcycles classics or late model.
