1953 Ford Lincoln Mercury's 50th Year!

 

The first thing I want to say is thanks to the ebay community in helping me out here.  I've had several people contact me and give me advice and tell me that the original ad was way to long to read through.  I've condensed it for ease of reading, but let me know if you need ANYTHING at all, and I'll get the answer to you.  Thanks guys!

I've also lowered the reserve price!  Hopes of having a baby makes you do things a little differently!

The first thing you will want to do is go to the photo bar above this discription and press play on the first photo.  I put a small video that lets you hear the car crank, run and rev up.  Then click the arrow on the line bar below to see a complete montage of photos on the car and the extras that come with it. Includes a photo of James Dean's 1953 4-door Sedan that he loved driving around that went up for auction years ago. 

I have compiled the information below from two professional hotrod and classic car restorers and builders.  Also from a professional body repairman that is certified by all the major insurance agencies.  He has done the body work on my Denali and does perfect work.

 

Isurance:  Currently insured with Hagerty Insurance.  Rates are a little over $100 per year, according to the requirements in your state.

Value of car:  Rated between a #2 and #3 car with Hemmings and Hagerty. $11,100.00

Interior: 9 out of 10.  Carpet is spotless.  Leather seats are like new.  Paint on doors and dash only have a few small specs.  New wiring.  Original radio, but I have never hooked it up after rewiring.  Included perfect Ford Mercury 50th Medallion above glove box. Missing crank on back right window, but including a spare window assembly with crank.  You'll have an extra window and seal with that assembly if you ever need them! 

Tires: 80% of the tread.  Can be flipped to show whitewalls.  Great tires.

Exterior:  8 out of 10.  Polished, she looks like new as you can see.  Have to get close to see two small rust spots, which have been included in photos.  One inch rust spot on lower right edge of front left fender.  The other is a small bubble spot above back right tire.  Both can be easily repaired without painting entire fenders.  The only other chips on the car can be touched up with touchup paint when you have the fenders spots painted.  Just ask body shop for extra paint and have car professionally buffed.  Total repair est. approx. $400 for fenders and $350 for area needing to be rechromed on bumper (if you decide to have the bumper chromed.  I personally wouldn't.  All windows are in great shape except for a very tiny chip that has been professionally filled in the top right corner of the windshied. 

Undercarriage:  10 out of 10.  You can see from the photos that they undercoated the entire undercarriage.  Of course it's a little dirty because I love driving it!  Will clean up extremely nice.

Engine: 10 out of 10.  You can easily tell by watching the video and looking at the engine that it is pristine! Simply turn the key, and press the ignition button and it's on! It's the cars original, highly sought after, 1953 Flathead V-8! This is the engine hotrod fanatics drool over. Shifts like a champ! Aproximately 18 miles to the gallon.

Extras:   Four original spare hubs, new seatbealts, (this car didn't come with them), and a new clock. CD with all the repair manuals. Owners manual.  Lots of memorabilia. Museum drawing of Lucy and Dezi's 53' Mercury in "The Long Long Trailer" and a publicity photo of them in the car. Old magazines from 1953 giving highly detailed reviews of the car, ads, postcards... just a lot of cool stuff. Extra vent window assemly (needed the crank).  Total Value: $500+

Reason for selling: I LOVE this car, but only have room for one extra car.  My wife said I could keep the car, but I just don't think it's a good idea for me to put one under an open car port, and she won't let me move her bass boat! Yeah, I'm lucky to have a wife that loves to fish.  I have always wanted my father in laws 1969 Cougar XR-7 Convertible, which you can see I had on auction last week.  It didn't sell and it's as close to the #4 Bond 69' Convertible that I'll ever be able to own!  It didn't sell and I made a deal to buy it from him.  I am going to buy it and put the money from this one on the car.  We are also hoping to have a baby on top of that so I shouldn't buy his Cougar and keep this car.    

Bid with confidence!  You can see that I recently sold a 1966 Cadillac to Hardluck1978 and it was a quick and easy process.  Great car and great buyer.  I also have worked hard to maintain my 100% rating.  I will answer everything I possibly can about the car to make you feel 100% comfortable with the transaction.  I will be selling several of my father in laws cars on here so my reputation is everything!!! I promise you can't have an easier or better transaction than you'll have dealing with me. 

Shipping:  Please click Ebays shipping option.  You can't believe how cheap it is to ship cars now.  Hardluck1978 had the Caddy shipped 1170 miles for $540 on USHIP and he said it was great!  I think it took three days because the hauler stopped in Nashville to pick up another car.

Deposit:  I am asking $500.00 deposit through Paypal. They will not allow 100% payment through paypal and I belive they charge 2.9% for that payment to me.  That deposit is non-refundable and will be deducted from the final bid.

Thanks and good luck!!!

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
