This 1950 Mercury Deluxe Coupe is a stunning show car that embodies the golden era of American custom craftsmanship. Finished in an elegant Black-on-Black color scheme, it radiates timeless style and attitude, highlighted by mirror-like triple-plated chrome throughout. The body lines are classic and smooth, showcasing Mercury’s legendary design while the deep black finish gives it a sleek, commanding presence. Every inch of this coupe has been carefully restored and upgraded, creating a perfect blend of old-school character and refined performance.

Under the hood lies a professionally built Flathead V8 engine by the renowned Motor City Flatheads, known for their precision engineering and performance expertise. This powerplant is fitted with aluminum Edelbrock heads and a new 4-barrel carburetor, delivering enhanced horsepower and crisp throttle response while maintaining that unmistakable flathead sound. The engine bay has been meticulously detailed, reflecting the same show-quality craftsmanship seen throughout the rest of the car.

Power is sent through a rebuilt T5 5-speed manual gearbox, a modern upgrade that offers smoother shifting and better drivability than the original setup. This transmission pairs perfectly with the flathead’s power curve, making the Mercury as enjoyable to drive on long cruises as it is to display at car shows. The addition of the T5 allows for comfortable highway speeds while retaining the authentic feel of a classic manual hot rod.

Performance and style continue through the exhaust system, featuring powder-coated Fenton headers and stainless steel Laker pipes. This combination not only delivers a rich, throaty exhaust note but also enhances the car’s visual appeal with polished detailing and craftsmanship. The sound is unmistakable pure traditional hot rod music that turns heads and draws crowds wherever it goes.

A new suspension with a three-inch drop gives this Mercury its perfect stance, balancing show-car looks with improved handling and ride quality. The lowered profile enhances its aggressive yet elegant presence on the road. Altogether, this 1950 Mercury Deluxe Coupe is a masterfully built custom that pays homage to classic American styling while offering modern performance and reliability a blacked-out beauty that’s ready to cruise, show, and impress at every turn.
