Hot Rods Let's see some Cragars!

This Mercury Caliente has the era nailed perfectly! This is how most hot cars looked back in the sixties and seventies. Not to many people had enough dough to have a strong, high performance drivetrain and a nice paint job..

In my book, the height is right on the mark. I always liked the front to be slightly higher..

 

How about a painted one.

 

I preferred the Sparkler version. It came with a chrome rim with a rough finished center section..

 

Had them on my 57’!

 

Agree with the look & the stance but it's a Caliente, not a Cyclone. Close call

Thanks Joe, I straightened it out.. I thought the tail lights looked like Cyclone tail lights..

A buddy had one of these. It was Butter Nut Yellow with black interior, 390 four speed.

 

All '65 Comet models shared the same taillights. I drove a '65 Cyclone many years ago. Anyway, back to the Cragars

My neighbor's one owner Cyclone, with Cragars, with acetylene smoke fogged panels.

 

That Cyclone is real nice!! I normally don't like custom paint but that paint job is so nice!!!

 

Cragars?

 

I got on the wrong post

 

58 got from my Dad 30 years ago ( he sold it twice $500 both times never got his money) told me take it, he wasn't getting paid anyway, might as well be me- lol - been adding a little to it ever since

 

I love mine, it was an easy choice! Cragar SS on my Coupe, Cragar Eliminator on my truck.

Sent from my SM-T500 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

I have them on two cars; one is slightly OT.

 

My '55 in the corkscrew at Laguna Seca.
15x6" in front. 15x8" in back with the fender lips folded in a bit.
I think Cragar SS's look best on mid '50's to mid '60's cars.

 

Oh yeah! Had to have Cragar SS's in the late 60s/early 70s. I also had them on my O/T muscle cars.
