1940 Mercury Eight Custom "Sexy Blonde"
"Sexy Blonde", this stunning "One of a Kind" hardtop style 3 window coupe offers masterfully refined body lines, swoopy chopped roofline, reworked windows and a host of creative modifications. Powered by a hopped up 51 Merc Flathead 255ci V8 & C4 automatic trans, resting in a custom modified chassis that sets you down in the weeds with Air-Ride technology and finally, slide into a white square pleated interior. Her amazing PPG Tri-Coat Pearl yellow changes from a creamy blonde pearl to a beautiful gold pearl depending on the lighting. We think you get the idea, a true work of art, will you be her next caretaker?
Accolades: Originally unveiled at the Detroit Autorama, Featured at the Grand National Roadster Show (GNRS), Good Guys 5th Nostalgia Nationals 'Builder's Choice Award and many more...
