A rare beauty, this 1951 Mercury Woody Wagon, #518L110902M, is an Arizona vehicle with just under 47,000 original miles and is one of only 3,812 produced. It has had the same owner for 30 years and, according to the consignor, is outstanding in every way. Awards for this well-documented and original vehicle include the very prestigious Dearborn Award from the Early Ford V8 Club of America, an especially notable achievement for a Woody. The Luxor Maroon exterior is complemented by all-original wood accents; 1951 was the last year that Mercury used real wood in its designs. This wagon also received First Place in the Concours Division from the Early Ford V8 Club of America and Most Original Automobile at the WGME Awesome Auto Tour. Even the fashion industry loves this car, as illustrated by its use in several Calvin Klein ads and in local venues throughout New York and Maine.
This vehicle includes its original drive train with the rare Merc-o-matic transmission, which was used in only one-third of these classic mid-century automobiles. Other desirable options include the Merc-o-therm heater, am radio, white sidewall tires with trim rings, a spotlight, and fender skirts. Inside, the wagon features a pleasant tan interior with all three original rows of usable seats, so load up the whole family for a Sunday drive! Sold with a registration.
