ERTL American Muscle 1951 Mercury Chopped Coupe 1:18 Diecast Model Car Teal Purple | Opening Hood Doors & Steering | Vintage Auto Decor
$45.20 $56.50
Get ready to roll back in time with a piece of American automotive nostalgia—this ERTL American Muscle 1:18 1951 Chopped Mercury Coupe in stunning teal and purple is not just a model, it’s a mini masterpiece! 🚗💨
📜 Ertl was founded in 1945 in Dyersville, Iowa, by Fred Ertl Sr., and quickly became famous for its high‑quality die‑cast farm toys. By the 1970s, Ertl expanded into classic cars with the American Muscle line, recreating icons like the 1951 Mercury Coupe—vehicles that epitomized postwar optimism and sleek, custom culture. The real 1951 Mercury, built by the Ford Motor Company, boasted wrapped‑around windshields, a “pie‑pan” hood, and became a favorite for early customizers—its chopped roofs and lowered stances defined the rising hot‑rod scene.
📐 Big Scale, Bigger Impact
At roughly 11 in (28 cm) long × 4 in (10 cm) wide × 3 ¼ in (8 cm) tall, this hefty die‑cast captures every curve and contour. Weighs 955 grams (2.1 lbs)
Pop open the hood to reveal a detailed engine bay, swing the doors wide to admire the ribbed bench seat and tinted yellow “glass,” and watch the steering wheel work those chromed wheels!
✔️ Condition & Character
In very good vintage shape, this beauty shows yellow tone at the cars "glasses" and interior. Also, it has a lovingly repaired wiper arm—proof of decades of care. Please check the photos.
The “2COOL” license plate adds personality, while the teal‑green metallic paint and purple pinstriping—though a custom livery not offered in ’51—echo the era’s love of personalization. All doors and hood open smoothly, and the steering‑to‑wheel linkage still makes those wheels spin.
Whether you’re a die‑cast devotee, a Mercury enthusiast, or hunting for a statement piece to grace your shelf, this ERTL coupe brings mid‑century style into your home.
It’s perfect for car lovers, retro collectors, or anyone who appreciates a touch of classic Americana in detailed miniature form.
