Simply stated, this multiple award winning Mercury Eight is regarded by many as the finest example of a 1951 convertible in existence today. Its restoration and story has been featured in multiple publications and automobile clubs. Before his passing the owner was regarded as one of the foremost authorities on Mercury authentication in the United States and is being offered for sale without reserve.
This 1951 Mercury Eight Convertible is a former Dearborn Award winner by the Early Ford V8 Society and is an AACA Grand National First Prize Winner. Restoration of this fine Mercury was undertaken by Dr. Gene Napoliello, a board member of the Early Ford V8 Society and leading author of the authenticity manual for 1949-1951 Mercury automobiles. While undertaking the over 5 year restoration on this convertible, Dr. Napiliello went to great lengths to ensure that all aspects of this fine automobile were correct and the awards received reflect
that. Every aspect of this car, according to the estate, was rebuilt and restored during this process. Publications featuring this automobile include Hemmings Classic Car Magazine, the AACA national publication as well as the September 23, 2018 feature in the Hemmings Daily Blog.
As expected, this award winning Mercury Eight convertible features the famous Mercury 255ci V8 engine with a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The exterior finish is a beautiful Vassar Yellow. The awards and pedigree of this vehicle speak for themselves as this vehicle has been maintained to a high degree since restoration, as it should be. Sold with a registration.
