This 1949 Mercury Eight Coupe, a classic Lead Sled, is transformed into a distinct street rod, featuring a chopped roof, louvered hood, and frenched headlights. It sports metallic maroon paint with beige pinstriping, complemented by Cadillac-sourced leather seats and a Hurst shifter. The car is powered by a 350ci Chevrolet V8 paired with a Muncie M-21 four-speed manual transmission.
