My mom drove one of these to high school in 1956. She could fit the entire cheer-leading team in that car!

[@DripDripDrip69]

It's nice to see an original unchopped Merc like this. It's got it's own charm.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for taking a look, we appreciate it!

[@durandjohnson1321]

It's not ruined like the rest!

[@donnyboyblue]

Super sweet Merc, brings back memories of the 50 Merc I had back in 58. Was a great ride.

[@doublel7337]

These Mercurys from 1949 to 1951 were the best looking cars sold at that time in my opinion. It is hard to even find a picture now of one that isn't chopped and lowered. This is one beautiful car Jeff, thanks for sharing !!

[@earllutz2663]

A very nice looking Mercury. Thank you for the walking tour.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for watching!

[@keithbronson9777]

I owned one in 1967 my senior year in highschool. Loved the back seat at the drive-in😎.

[@dicksanders8206]

Great looking car. And it's refreshing that it hasn't been chopped. You get tired of that look. Thanks for showing!

[@MisterMikeTexas]

The 49 - 51 Mercury was the looker. Better looking than the Fords or the Lincolns of the time.

[@JimBales]

This car was a hot item when I was in high school.

[@RamblinAround]

It was the first car that my Dad ever owned. He said he blew out first gear trying to do burnouts. They definitely make nice looking customs too.

[@supergiz2009]

This car was how before I go to school

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

I love that interior! buttons and toggles everywhere, its like a space ship. low miles too, wow..

[@RamblinAround]

Yeah, that dashboard is really cool. Thanks for taking a look Murray!

[@not2fast4u2c]

It is a nice car ...The interior looks all original

[@kurtrh63]

Very cool , first car I drove as a kid was my fathers 51 Mercury 2-door that he dropped in a 312 and 3-speed on the floor.

[@RamblinAround]

Sounds like a cool car. That was a perfect engine swap for it.

[@martentrudeau6948]

It's a rare Mercury being a factory stock car. It's in beautiful shape.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for taking a look at it. It is rare to find one that has been left alone these days.

[@martentrudeau6948]

@@RamblinAround It maybe the only 1950 Mercury that nice that is still stock.

[@donnyboyblue]

Super sharp Merc. Ready for the road!

[@RamblinAround]

It really is a beauty, thanks for taking a look!

[@trainroomgary]

When I was a kid I made a plastic model of a 49 Mercury, like you said a chopped top. Cool car and ride.

I agree it's damn nice to see an old Merc that hasn't been molested. Electric fan on a 6V car? That will have me scratching my head for a while.

Jeff I appreciate you putting up this great video. I love these 50 Mercury sedans. I remember them as a kid and they were beautiful cars. Even stock the flathead V8's had a nice sound to them. The 50 Mercury is one of my dream cars to own. Take care Jeff.

[@RamblinAround]

Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it!

[@nathanwilkie3697]

Very nice. Piece of artwork on 4 wheels.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@geraldmatuszewski2830]

Nice car most of your cars are really nice like the 62 thunderbirds you have

[@yuvegotmale]

The flathead V8s did have a inherant over heating problem due to the exhaust flow in the engine block. The two rear cylanders ran hot and would often burn exhaust valves...and they wold vapor lock often.

[@cgeorge6786]

Thanks Debbie Downer.😄

[@tombankwel4822]

A very 😎 😊 cool car it is awsome i love it motor wow thanks jeff and Jordan for this video 😊😊

[@creamofcardstv]

Looks in tip top condition. Very nice motor :)

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks for taking a look my friend!

[@kevinmacnally5096]

My father had one! Nice car!

[@5797029]

This is exactly the same as my first car. I was too young for a driver's license so I just drove it around the farm. My father had a 1950 coupe in blue. My first road car was a white 1959 Ford convertible I bought for $200 in 1965. If I had only known what they would be worth today.

[@canibusnj]

Nice Merc Jeff. It's always nice to see one that's original and not lead sledded out!!! 😃

[@RamblinAround]

It really is great to see one left so untouched. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@darkninjacorporation]

When I see these, I can only ever think “police car” rather than “chopped roof”

[@schmittdjeson]

Sheriff cars in real life?

[@jsteelman1000]

Hello nice looking car, is it for sale ?

[@yyctypewriter]

Man I would wish they'd let you a start-up and drive. Am sure you have driven a lot of business their way with you videos.

[@RamblinAround]

I'm sure we'll work something out with them. Thanks for watching!

[@theodorewinter1753]

How much? Will travel!

[@theodorewinter1753]

Got the cash, where should I bring it?

[@rorybellamy2533]

Chop Chop Chop! Chop ! Chop!

[@durandjohnson1321]

No, No, No, No, No... Not many left in original condition!
