A standard 3 spd. manual gear box with the Touch O Matic automatic available as an option. Other options included a radio, PW (standard in a the convertible), heater, 2 tone paint, white wall tires and power seats. An oil bath cleaner could also be purchased. In 1950, it was a big year for the Mercury Marque, as they produced their 1 millionth vehicle. They were invited to pace the Indy 500 as the official pace car and won 2 NASCAR Gr. Nat. races that year. This 50 Mercury convertible was purchased from a private estate. Pampered through out its lifetime, this beauty was stored in a climate controlled environment and only driven to local car shows and cruise nights. Powered by a V8 Edlebrock alum Ford flathead cylinder heads part # 1125. The Edelbrock alum cylinder head is made of A356 aluminum T-6 tempered cylinder head. They are rugged and ribbed internally and externally for more strength. The compression ratio is 8.0:1 with 3 locks with a 3/16 base relief on a standard bore and stroke. Period Offenhauser dual alum intake with chrome air cleaner covers. Updated 12 volt system, orig. radiator, vacuum wipers, basically very period correct under the hood.
