1951 Mercury M1 Pickup With "old school". "traditional". and "nostalgic" being some of the top buzzwords in the car scene this very nicely done 1951 Mercury M1 is sure to fit right in. Formerly owned by the "Austin Speed Shop". not only is this truck unique by being an old Mercury Pickup. but it was done in that classic throwback hot rodder style that always grabs attention. On first glance you may think it is coated in primer but that special color is Hot Rod Flatz "Copper Pearl". Get it out in the sun and the paint really comes alive. Nicely laid down scallops grace the fenders. Additionally. the truck has some of the coolest pinstriping out there that were laid down by "Scratch". It accents the original style trim creating a very cool look. The original style grill and headlights are in place but the grill has been done in a combination of chrome and Black which work well together. the original front chrome bumper has also been left in place. as for the rear. the bumper has been removed and a pair is 1950 mercury passenger car taillights have been frenched into the back fenders. The rear tailgate has been smoothed and rolled under to connected to the body giving it a seamless appearance. The rear bed has been coated in Black and has a rear panel which is removable to give access to the remote battery and compressor for the air ride suspension. Due to that suspension you can cruise down the road in comfort and drop it down at shows for the ultimate stance. The truck wouldn't look right with anything other than wide white wall tires which are in place throughout wrapped around nice chrome steel wheels. If you thought the exterior pinstriping was nice just take a peak inside! This custom has been done with some of the coolest upholstery work out there. Completed by Fat Lucky formerly of Austin Speed Shop. it just reeks of cool. Pinstriping graphics have been custom stitched into the seat backs and headliner for a one of a kind look. You are guaranteed to never pull up to another car with an interior that is even close to this one. A tall custom floor shifter has been installed. And the Roman God Mercury with his winged hat and wearing a sombrero is mounted as the shifter knob. Definitely a one of a kind. When you check out the dash you will find some of the original style trim but white faced Dolphin gauges. The ashtray opens to expose the air ride suspension controls. And the steering wheel is removable with the pull of a pin. Very old school. plus a cool security measure. The truck rolls down the road under the power of a Ford 302V8 that is attached to a 3 speed automatic transmission. The engine is dressed out in cool finned Edelbrock valve covers and an old school air cleaner. The the independent air ride suspension allows you to adjust your ride height to fit your purpose. Whether driving down the freeway or just cruisin the local hangouts. you will have the truck sitting at just the right height. Mercury Pick Ups are rare to begin with and with all the customization done on this one makes it a rare opportunity!
