Mercury XM-800, 1954 0001-4940

Mercury’s fabulous XM-800 dream car was a true glimpse into future automotive designs. It was lower, wider and longer than any previous Mercury. Though the XM-800 did not see production, its profile, forward-slanted hooded headlights, covered front wheels and slender, canted taillight rear bumper/exhaust combo were reinterpreted onto the 1956 Lincoln. The XM-800’s styling also featured a concave front grille, wide wrap around windshield, and flush type door handles. Both exterior and interior were finished in pearlescent white and copper tones. For passenger comfort, the individual-contoured seats had stationary armrests, and contained controls for various functions.
