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. What Ever Happened to..........?
My Son in Law got some pieces back from the chrome shop. Looks alot better, I think. Didn't do the headlight rings cuz they will be frenched.
@gonmad Jimmy & Chic Spears has joined the Merc brotherhood. They own one fine '49 Dan Greenberg took this picture at this year's SK500.
That dude has gone mad ... or crazy. Crazy 'bout a Mercury, that is!! Congrats @gonmad on the new kooool ride.
Thanks @54delray It’s one I couldn’t really afford to get, but couldn’t afford to lose the opportunity!
Thanks @straykatkustoms as I hadn’t seen that pic before. Dan made that thing look awesome, almost like it don’t have 40 year old lacquer paint! LoL!
