This 1951 Mercury woodie wagon is finished in black over red leather and powered by a 255ci flathead V8 paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a 12-volt electrical system, 15” wheels, an AM radio with auxiliary input, and dual exhaust outlets. The car was restored at some point before 2019—at a reported cost of $125k—and has been on BaT previously, most recently in September 2021. Service since the last auction has included changing the oil, flushing the coolant, and replacing the clutch assembly and battery. Features include chrome bumpers and a driver-side mirror. The taillamps feature hinged mounts and are repositioned with pushrods when the tailgate is lowered. Black 15″ steel wheels wear Mercury-branded hubcaps and 215/75 Coker Classic whitewall tires. The split-folding rear tailgate features a covered spare wheel. The cabin features a split front bench and two rear benches upholstered in red leather. The door, tailgate, and side panels are trimmed in wood, and the black carpets feature red piping.
