The first models released under the combined Lincoln-Mercury Division, the Mercury Eight now shared its body with the Lincoln (which no longer carried a divisional nameplate). Keeping its 118-inch wheelbase, the third-generation Mercury was sized between its two divisional counterparts. The "pontoon" body design eliminated freestanding fenders and running boards (along with widening and lowering the hood). Substantial modernization was made to the chassis, as Ford retired its long-running transverse-leaf suspension and torque-tube drive axle (the former feature, used since 1908 on the Model T).[12] While the rear axle was remained leaf-sprung (with more conventional longitudinal springs), the front suspension was independent with stabilizer bars.[12][13] The Flathead V8 (resized to 255 cubic inches) made its return, producing 110 hp.[14] A new overdrive system was optional, activated by a handle under the dash.[1][15] In a model change, the four-door station wagon was replaced by a two-door version; as with the Ford Country Squire, wood construction was relegated to side paneling (still manufactured at the Ford Iron Mountain Plant).[8] An 8 tube AM radio was introduced as an option; full instrumentation was added to the dashboard.[16] For 1950, the Mercury Monterey made its debut as the flagship version of the Mercury Eight. Developed in response to the two-door hardtop coupes introduced by General Motors, the Monterey was a counterpart of the Ford Crestliner, Lincoln Lido, and Lincoln Cosmopolitan Capri, featuring a fabric-covered roof and upgraded interior.[12] For 1951, the Mercury saw minor styling revisions, but introduced the Merc-O-Matic 3-speed automatic as an option (identical to the Ford-O-Matic introduced alongside it).[12] The shift from the Ford to the Lincoln body proved successful for Mercury, increasing sales by over 250,000 vehicles from 1948 to 1949, with the brand becoming the sixth-best selling automobile in the United States.[12] For 1952, Mercury redesigned and expanded its model line, renaming the Eight as the Mercury Custom and establishing the Monterey as its flagship nameplate.
