I like the sedan Valley Custom did for Joe Brenner. Mild, but simple and clean.

I have seen that picture before and it makes me regret not getting my 41 done when I had it as a teen.

 

You beat me to the punch, Sancho! I have shared it on the 'net many times!
Your description is accurate, mild, simple and clean! This example sure lends credence for using 40s FOMOCO fordors as custom projects.

 

What ever became of the '41 Merc fordor that was raffled off at the Gary Howard celebration of life?

 

Here’s the late Tom Nielsen’s chopped 41 Merc Tom recently passed after a short illness, he was a great friend and will be sorely missed. Tom saved up his paper route money and bought this car in 1960 when he was 15 years old
He wrote many great articles that can be enjoyed at Rik Hoving’s site Custom Car Cronicle

 

That blue one reminds me of Suzie the Little Blue Coupe

So, what did the rarer '42 look like . . . ?

 

The 41 Gary Howard car is in Texas and is for sale.

 

Gary Howards 41 merc has a newowner, still in Texas.

 

I just picked up the Gary howard raffle mercury on Monday.
