Transformed into a cult classic resultant of the film, Rebel Without a Cause, starring James Dean, the 1949 Mercury was the first model to utilize the “Airflyte” styled body shell of the small Lincoln rather than that of the Ford line. In addition, the 1949 Mercury featured an instrument panel designed specifically for the drivers’ focus, newly engineered front suspension utilizing coil springs, the 255.4-cid Ford “law enforcement and pursuit” V-8 engine rated at 110-hp, three-speed transmission with Touch-O-Matic overdrive, electric clock and trunk light. This original 1949 Mercury is finished in Midland Maroon.
