RealRides of WNY - 1951 Mercury

Day 1 of “A week of ‘51s”

STAFFORD, N.Y.

1951 Mercury

It’s not every day you see one of these parked in someone’s driveway, and this one’s looking pretty good for a 71-year-old car. With its available Merc-O-Matic drive, Mercury compared it to “the drive of your life!… the kind of balanced motoring of which you’ve always wanted.” I believe the suicide doors were an exclusive in its price class.
