1950 Mercury Eight

1950 Mercury Station Wagon “Woody”

Finished in striking Inca Gold with beautifully executed bird’s-eye maple wood bodywork, this 1950 Mercury Station Wagon “Woody” is the kind of custom that draws you in before you ever turn the key. The depth of the finish, warmth of the wood, chopped profile, and carefully finished details create a presence that feels special from every angle.

Open the door and that same craftsmanship continues inside. The tan and wood interior surrounds you with the character of a true custom Woody, while the desirable 1949 Mercury dash and Stewart-Warner gauges put the driver at the center of the experience. It’s a cabin that invites you to settle in, look over that long Mercury hood, and enjoy the car rather than simply admire it.

Fire up the 350 CID V8 and the Rochester Tri-Power setup brings the personality to match the looks. Backed by an automatic transmission and enhanced with an Edelbrock intake, power steering, HydroVac brakes, Vintage Air conditioning, a Chevrolet Chevelle chassis, and rear air ride suspension, this Mercury was built to feel just as rewarding from behind the wheel as it looks sitting still.

The 3-inch chopped roof, frenched headlights, smoothed hood corners, one-piece side glass, 1952 Buick taillights, and American Racing Max Grundy turbine wheels complete a custom design where every detail feels intentional.

What makes this Mercury truly special is the connection it creates. You appreciate the craftsmanship when you walk around it, feel the quality when you climb inside, and understand the build when you put it on the road. It’s more than a showpiece—it’s a car you’ll want to spend time with.

For the collector looking for a centerpiece that can be experienced as much as admired, this Woody delivers. Slide behind the wheel, fire up the Tri-Power V8, and you’ll quickly understand why this is the kind of car that becomes more than part of a collection—it becomes the one you reach for when you want to enjoy the drive.
