Sporting a glossy black paint finish, this rare 1948 Mercury 114X Sedan Coupe is understood to be one of as few as s-50s automotive accessory, plus a chrome Philips combination spot light/mirror to the driver’s side of the vehicle. A proper 239 CI “flathead” V-8 engine delivers power with a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission and the underside, frame and suspension appear in unmodified and maintained factory condition. The interior is tidy, inviting, and in original-appearing order and retains original-appearing green and grey two-tone patterned upholstery. In addition to the aircraft-style, twin-pod dash insert housing the speedometer and clock inside individual pods, this rare Canadian-market Mercury is further equipped with a factory under-dash heater, courtesy lights, cloth passenger grab handles, and swing-open rear-quarter windows. Ready to collect and enjoy, this very rare postwar Canadian-market Mercury is an excellent and interesting find. Appraised value of $65,000 CAD. Canadian tax is not applicable.
