For 1951 the Mercury saw minor styling revisions, but introduced the Merc O Matic three speed automatic as an option, identical to the Ford O Matic introduced alongside it. 1951 was the last year of the Mercury Eight, which for 1952 was renamed the Mercury Custom, with the Monterey established as the flagship nameplate. Sam and George Barris used the 1949 body style in 1953 for the Hirohata Merc. It was Mercury's first postwar line, with a modernised chassis.
