This 1950 Mercury Meteor has a very cool/rear history. Plus, its desirability is taken up a notch with the right hot rod details. So if you're looking for a distinct Flathead V8 cruiser, this one should be at the top of your list.


Not quite sure you've even seen this car before? Well, there's a good reason. This isn't as much a Mercury Meteor as it is a Meteor sold through Mercury dealerships. Much like GM's pre-war sub-brands where Cadillac had Lasalle and Oakland had Pontiac, Canadian Mercury dealers had Meteors to sell. So when you are looking at a short-lived sub-brand made exclusively for Canada, you can start to understand the level of rarity here. The full story on a car like this is that it shares much of the styling with the Ford Tudor to give Mercury a bit more of a mainstream offering because often at this time there would be a Mercury dealer in town but not a Ford one. Still, the Meteor kept the more unique and premium Mercury style in key places like the front bumper and grille. This car has the right vintage look with the maroon main color, white roof, full-length trim, and chrome bumpers all looking complete with just the right amount of maturity. But you'll also notice a light metallic in the maroon. It's part of the right hot rod feeling in this car. After all, the '50 Ford loves some street machine style, and so this one gets the right period-correct updates, too. The half-chrome headlights, windshield sunshade, dual spotlights, blue-dot tail lights, and dual exhaust tips are classic Ford V8 fun. And while there are plenty of upgraded details, we also like how much this one appreciates its rare vintage style. You see it in the details, like the distinct Meteor rear badge and correct Meteor hub caps.


The interior has even more pure classic charm. The two rows of bench seats with striped cloth upholstery are a great vintage Ford piece. The clean dash, detailed door panels, and large ivory steering wheel are all part of this time capsule feeling. So while you may decide to update some things, we already like it because this is for lovers of vintage details. It gives you everything from the working dome light to a working AM radio.


Under the hood is Ford's famous flathead V8. This 239 cubic-inch version seems like the right one here because, just like this Meteor, it also shares a history with both Ford and Mercury. It's all about having a tidy and vintage style. This V8 fires up nicely, and the dual exhaust gives you a good flathead tune. Plus, the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission lets you control that soundtrack and the V8 power.


The sale comes complete with an owner's manual and service manuals. This is the fun of a classic shoebox Ford with the styling and history they never expected. Call today!!!

General Terms

Terms & Conditions

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

Fees: A documentation fee of $399 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

Availability: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

Contact: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

Inspection: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

Payment: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.

Shipping: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

Drive it Home: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility. Documents & Vehicle Titles: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN Verification: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

Mileage: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

Condition: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent.
