This 1949 Mercury Eight coupe was built into a lowrider approximately a decade ago by Eddie Tovar of Hawaiian Gardens, California. Finished in beige over gray cloth upholstery, the car rides on a reinforced frame and a hydraulic suspension featuring two hydraulic liftgate pumps, four dumps, and three batteries. Power comes from a 283ci Chevrolet V8 paired with a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, and additional equipment includes 15” steel wheels, front drop spindles with disc brakes, and a four-link rear setup. The car is finished in beige and features dual spotlights, pop-out quarter windows, fender skirts, and chrome bumpers with overriders. Black-finished 15” steel wheels wear full covers and are mounted with whitewall tires. The frame has been C-notched and reinforced, and 2. 5” drop spindles and control arms have been installed up front along with a triangulated four-link rear setup. The hydraulic system incorporates two liftgate pumps with cast-iron blocks as well as four Italian dumps, 6” front cylinders, 12” rear cylinders, and stainless-steel hard lines. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The front bench seat was lowered by approximately 3” before the cabin was re-trimmed in gray cloth at Jaime’s Upholstery in Hawaiian Gardens, California.
