The 1949 -1951 Mercury?s are considered the all-time 50?s ?Hoodlum? or ?Bad Boy? car. Popularized by James Dean in the 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause and other movies like the George Lucus film American graffiti, Badlands with Martin Sheen and Cobra with Silvester Stallone. Not to mention this was the car of choice for 50?s customizing icons like Andy Brizzio, Dean Jeffries, Jon Kosmoski, Gene Winfield, George Barris, Alexander Brothers and ?Big Daddy? Ed Roth.

This Pop-Culture icon presented here gleams in?House of Color? Kandy Apple Red over a seamless and straight body with black upholstery. It has all the cool custom ?Led Sled? mods of the day; 4? roof chop, slammed, frenched-in headlights, frenched- in Caddy taillights, shaved door handles, smoothed trunk with door and trunk poppers. The interior is all custom with leather seats, power windows, console and tilt steering column. Power comes from a small block Chevy 400 with 2 4?s, headers and Lake Pipes. The bold 51 Desoto chrome ?Tooth? grill, custom pin striping with chrome Thunderbird Kelsey Hayes wires put the finishing touches on this fantastic period 50?s ?Choptop?, making this car a real show stopper.
