The ‘75th Anniversary 1949 Mercury Eight Coupe Diecast Car’ celebrates one of the most pivotal and stylish automobiles in post-war history. In the years following World War II, drivers craved bold design, improved performance, and innovation on wheels — and Ford delivered. With its sleek pontoon fenders, a powerhouse 255-cubic inch flathead V8 engine, and a design that defied convention, the 1949 Mercury Eight Coupe became an instant icon. Its wide appeal—from family drivers to custom car fans and hot rod enthusiasts—made it a legend on and off the road. Now, 75 years later, The Bradford Exchange proudly presents this striking 1:18-scale tribute to a true classic.

This precision-engineered diecast model features over 160 components and an authentic showroom-quality Tampico Red finish. With a heavyweight diecast metal chassis, opening doors, and hood, it reveals a beautifully detailed interior, full dashboard instrumentation, and even a carpeted floor. Pop the hood to find a wired and plumbed recreation of the famed V8 engine that once roared beneath the Mercury’s bonnet. From its rolling rubber tyres and steerable front wheels to the polished chrome trim, official Mercury emblems, and custom plates, this is a must-have for any serious collector.
