Rulon McGregor's '39 Mercury

The Rulon McGregor 1939 Mercury has been at the Petersen Museum since 1999 and was featured in Rodders Journal #21 (the 'B' cover) some years later. The car is just a great example of a very pure early post war custom in California... Before massive ... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.

 

Beautiful car! The stance is just perfect!

 

nice

 

I loved that car at the GNRS Customs Then & Now event.

I really like the Custom Cars that where customized in the early 1940's They are so pure.

Here are a few photos I took of it.

 

Awesome!!! My favorite era by far.

 

Rule-on , Rulon ! Needs skirts though

 

That would be the only thing I would change as well.

I am in love with this car.

 

Amazing. So rad! Some cars you can just "feel" the spirit around them.. Thats one of them.

 

ok i guess

only when the rear is level or lower than the front

waiting to see more of yours jay?????

 

Why lookie there, someone snuck some skirts on the ole girl!
Gorgeous old girl, love those headlights and grille, my No 2 on 1939 style, right behind a 39 Zephyr.

 

Just as beautiful now as it was then.

 

One of my favorites! Perfection!!

 

I like fender skirts,but not on this one.Very tastefully done.

 

Fender skirts would look good if the rear were more elongated ,but as is it would have an armadillo effect.

 

I have a 39 and will def put skirts on it. The rear fender cutouts have a weird shape that I personally don't like very much. Gorgeous car anyway!

 

I think that car is beautiful, ever since I saw it on the Rodders Journal. Gorgeous color and stance is just right.

Amazing...and what a cool backstory

 

A very nice example of an early custom. The DeSoto bumpers look perfect on this car. Lots of small changes plus the Carson top enhance the '39 design and give it a great look!

 

I love this car too,by far my favorite era!

 

Fantastic looking car. Always luv the '39's ....my birthyear.
