Chassis no. 51ME52474M. Coventry Green over brown leatherette. 255/112hp V8, automatic, windshield sun visor, wide whitewalls, automatic, pushbutton radio, grille guard, enclosed rear spare.

Evaluation: Restored to like new condition and very clean. Decent paint but the varnish is much better and particularly impressive. Some small old water stains at wood joints good interior and chrome.

Bottom Line: Sold by Bonhams at Brookline in 2004 for $63,250 with a fairly fresh restoration and maintained in comparable condition ever since. As things go, this is a modest price for a rare Mercury station wagon with wood framing and structure, the last year for that construction.
