I'll bet that radio only gets "traditional" stations.You're gonna need a bigger place soon.

well.. the car isn't local..it is back in WI it is my supersecret junkyard...i have been saving for it for almost a year and a half. The dash is a one year only 1949 mercury. My original 50 dash is alright..i am missing some knobs, but i got those now too. I scored a NOS 50 dash and insert with all the knobs. I am not going to use the 50 rather i am going to use the 49 and restore the 50. your right lullabelle, i am running out of space...

Nice score!! Took me about a year to piece one together, you could part that dash on E-Bay, for well over a grand. Good job!!!..........OLDBEET

billy that is hilarious...seriously. old beet, i know that i could..but this ones staying with me...Sarah decided to finally get it after i took her to carlisle and she saw just the speedo go for 125. Getting her support makes things sooo much sweeter.
Tuck...my knobs need to be polished. ha!
