AMT 1/25 49mercury Club Coupe Model Kit

The 1/25 scale 1949 Mercury Club Coupe by AMT captures the car that defined an entire custom car movement. The '49 Mercury — immortalized as the "lead sled" — was the custom car community's ultimate canvas. Its long, flowing body lines responded beautifully to the customizer's art: chopping the top, dechroming, frenching the headlights, and pouring lead (hence "lead sled") to smooth body seams created rolling sculptures of chrome and paint. James Dean drove a '49 Merc in Rebel Without a Cause, cementing its cultural status. The '49-'51 Mercury remains the single most customized car in automotive history. This AMT kit captures the Club Coupe's classic proportions — ready for stock restoration or wild custom treatment.
