1:87 Oxford Diecast Mercury Monarch 1949 Teal Blue

Our replica of the Mercury 2-door coupé is another in the series of American cars from the post-war era and into the 1950s. To the modern eye, the shape is quite bulbous but at the time of its introduction, its solid appearance must have had its appeal.  We see it here in an authentic  deep blue colour scheme which  is offset by the contrasting wealth of chrome and silver applied to the windscreen surround, rear windows, a silver stripe along the sides of the body, as well as the Mercury badges on the front and rear of the car.  The Mercury name is also printed above the rear wheel arch. The wheels themselves are silver with characteristic whitewall tyres, so desirable at the time. The interior is presented in a contrasting grey, including the steering wheel. According to the registration plate, the proud owner of this motor came from Arizona Grand Canyon State, registration number E-5316.
