The model is in very good condition with no paint defects, chips, or blemishes of any kind. The body finish is clean and the chrome detailing is bright and well-preserved. The soft top (convertible roof) is absent — the car presents naturally as an open-top roadster, which only adds to its dramatic, low-slung custom profile. No documents are included. What you see in the photographs is exactly what you receive — the model is presented honestly and without embellishment. The original styrofoam insert is present and intact. The original white cardboard box is included and in good condition. About This Model The 1950 Mercury Custom — popularly known as the 'Merc' — was one of the most iconic automobiles of the post-war custom car era. The production Mercury Eight was already a low, sleek machine with distinctive slab sides, but in the hands of custom builders such as Sam Barris and later popularized by the film 'Rebel Without a Cause' (1955), the chopped and lowered Merc became a cultural symbol of cool. With its rounded pontoon fenders, wide chrome grille, and flowing silhouette, the 1950 Mercury perfectly embodied the spirit of 1950s American custom culture. Danbury Mint's replica captures the spirit of the custom-built version in a deep metallic purple finish with a white interior, white-wall tires, and an open convertible configuration. The model is cast from die-cast metal alloy, giving it a substantial, premium weight and presence in the hand — qualities immediately apparent when you pick it up. About Danbury Mint Danbury Mint, based in Danbury, Connecticut, was one of America's premier producers of precision die-cast scale models. Their 1:24 series were crafted under official manufacturer licences and are widely recognised by collectors for their exceptional weight, detail fidelity, and accurate period colour reproduction.
