Summary
This 1950 Mercury Eight convertible is notable for its use in the 1978 movie Grease, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. It underwent a comprehensive refurbishment between 2004 and 2005, including a repaint in black, a reupholstered two-tone black and red leather interior, and a rebuilt 255ci V8 engine with performance upgrades. Features include a power-operated black soft top, 15" red-finished steel wheels with whitewall tires, and a three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
