If you’re into old school American Muscle then look no further than this 1949 Mercury with a 355 V8 and elegant chop top.  Originally designed to be a big Ford for the 1948 model year, this car has become a legend on the streets as well as on the silver screen. The 1949 Mercury was the car that James Dean drove in the movie “Rebel without a Cause”  and is part of the reason why the car till today has maintained it’s appeal as a bad boy car - as well as a collector piece. The car was originally introduced in April 1948 as the all-new 1949 Mercury. No longer a Ford look-alike, the new Mercury was truly a step up from Ford for buyers striving to become Lincoln owners. And in the process, Mercury produced a car that would become a classic for car customizers in the 1950s. Ford, Chrysler and General Motors all introduced the first truly new postwar designs with their 1949 offerings, but the curvy, bulkier Mercury was completely different from the slab-sided Fords.
