did mercury make a 49-51' convert.?

hey ka-zoo don't worry about it...im glad you helped out unlike some assholes on here

 

I bought a honey of a 49 Merc Convertible back in 1971 for $150.00. beautiful leather interior. Black with white top.

 

Gene had a couple of his 'glass chopped Merc bodies sitting around his shop as of a month ago. As to making ragtops from one, I don't know but it's not an impossibility. My buddy, Shotrod Deb's old man was stationed at Edwards (Ca) AFB and Deb spent almost as much time in Palmdale bs-ing with Gene and company as at home..

does it have a hemi?

 

no one ever made a 49-51 merc convertible. sorry. however on the whole mike ness thing they did make 54 chevy converts. haha. fun.

 

If I have any questions about anything I'm just gonna ask DE SOTO first.

 

yeah i think everyone should ask him a question or two since he has all the answers, well that is unless you don't mind being called a dumb fucker

 

thank you to everyone that saw this thread and answered me with an actual answer, not being a douche bag and thinking your tough, but sadly the car is not for me (i wish) its for the building owner where i work...oh and to everyone that has pm'd me with leads on some merc's i greatly appreciate it...THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS SITE GREAT, PEOPLE HELPING OTHER PEOPLE

 

Who's Mike Ness?

 

no no no..your supposed to ask desoto, if you have any questions just pm him and he will give you the answer, hes good about that LOL

 

Two 1950's here in Grants Pass. One fellow bought his for $75,000 from Bruce Johnson in Mpls, MN. Any of you with the V-8 Times have seen his stuff, $$$. The other car belongs to a fellow in my; very nice looking car, with factory hydraulic windows and top.

 

alright one last post before i go off to bed...if anyone knows of any for sale hit me with a pm and i'll be sure to get right back with you
thanks to everyone

 

You guys are funny! I am just glad that you knew I was kidding.

The only one that was seen just recently customized and completed is at EXTREMEKUSTOMS.COM e-mail them.

 

Is this guy still around? Did Mikey fuck his wife or something? Does he just hate short people? Gawd, he sure was stuck on Nessy for awhile there. F'in douche.....hahahaha

Here ya go: Ford made the following Merc convertibles.
16765 converts in 1949..... base price $2409
8341 converts in 1950....... base price $2409
6759 converts in 1951 ...... base price $2597

 

Dude in NJ has one. Dont know what he paid, all orig everything from soup to nuts, and in nice unrestored shape. Im thinking better than $75k. I would have too if the bread was no prob....sweet car. They are hens teeth. Someday I would love one, but Im way into the kustom Mercs more than the stockers, and I wouldnt have the balls to cut a legit convert up.

 

There are at least 2 51 Mercury convertibles here in the Houston area. Both are owned by the same guy.
The Mercury wagons are all Tudor Woodies.

 

The Barris built, Freddy Rowe Mercury that was in the movie running wild with the Hirohata Merc is an original convertable...
