I'm selling this 1951 Mercury for the original owner. He is an 84 year old gentleman that purchased the car new at Van Etta Motors on Van Ness Ave in San Francisco. He purchased it for the some of $3,022.19 including tax on March 12, 1951. I have attached a copy of the original bill of sale in the photos. The car is black with a factory custom beige mohair interior, wide white wall tires, rear fender skirts, radio, heater, grill guards, 3 speed overdrive trans mission and under-seal. This automobile has been meticulously maintained. In 1999 he had the interior redone as original, suspension rebuilt, engine rebuilt, car was completerewired and braking system rebuilt. All work on this automobile has been professionally done and he still has many of the original receipts. It has been garage kept in San Francisco since he purchased it and never driven on salted roads. The undercarriage is in very nice condition and no rust on this beauty. The engine was rebuilt at about 90,000 miles and they turned back the odometer at that time. It now shows 5,091 miles. most of the works was done around the same time. It shows beautifully and drives just as well. There are minor scratches in the paint, The chrome is great and everything seems to work fine including the radio an gauges. The car was in a minor fender bender on the right front back in 1956. Other than that it has never been in any accidents. This is probably one of the nicest original 1 owner 1951 Mercury available. The car must be paid in full within 14 days of the end of auctions. I will be away from February 15 to February 23. Buyer is responsible for shipping or picking up the car in San Francisco. I will assist in anyway I can in helping the buyer with arranging shipping.
