1949, 1950, 1951 Mercury Pictures

I normally like the milder versions of custom Mercs, but I really like this one.

 

Is that O'Brien's truck in the background?

 

Yes it is. E

 

2001 Run to the Sun ...

 

last I heard, 2020, this Merc was resting quietly in an Illinois garage, rarely driven. Curt R

 

Thanks for the update. Would be kool to see it running around again. The Merc has a kool profile.

 

That is Dick Crouthers Merc. I remember seeing that car at shows in Illinois and Wisconsin when I was a kid. It's the Merc that started my love for these cars.

The story of the car is on the first page of the "History - What Ever Happened to..." post.
