    Hello all my name is Jake and have been a member since Jan 2012 but have just now figured out how to post. I have a 1949 Merc that was completed in July of 1982 and is beginning to show its age after 32 years. Thankfully I didn't do what everyone was doing in the 80's and went for traditional way back then. Even retained the flat motor.

    Larry, I guess that's the only way you'll be able to see the Merc because I can't do whatever I just did to get into the introduction page with the only picture I have that I just took this morning in the driveway after 32 years. A friend of mine came over today and got me up and runnin on the Hamb. Guess I need em to come back over again.

    Thanks, I once had a 56. Should've kept it. Never mind, I see you have a 66 s55. Parents bought a brand new Monterey in 66. Yellow with black vinyl top was the hot ticket back then. Wouldn't go for the s55 though.

    Nice car, Jake! I've been a member since 2008 and I used to be able to get on here but since they changed the hamb I haven't been on I hope you can figure out how to put more pictures on.

    Thanks for the compliment. I will have to take more pictures of the car and get them into the computer. I've owned this car since 81 and most of the pictures I have are on old 35mm film. I am new to the digital age. When I figure it out I believe I am supposed to create a personal HAMB photo album. May need some help with that though.

  15. Glad you got your user account figured out.
     
  16. Welcome. Sweet Merc. Glad you figured out the posting thing. The more time you spend on here the easier it will become to navigate the site and hopefully post more pictures going forward.....................................Don in Maryland.
