The Leo Lyons Mercury at Audrain’s

I just got back from Newport, Rhode Island for a motoring weekend and Concours d’Elegance. Among the cars on display the Tennis Hall of Fame was none other than the Leo Lyons Mercury, which I hadn’t seen since Pebble Beach Concours’ Mercury class in 2015. It was great to see this historic cover car Kustom out on display again, and whether you like the stying or not, you have the give Leo props for the extensive amount of work he did over a nine year period to create this amazing creation, starting when he was only 20 years old. If you want to read the entire, comprehensive story of the Leo Lyons ‘Ultra Modern Merc’, including scanned articles and tons of original pictures, you can read it all here.
