Customs Pulled a '51 Merc from a cemetery today (no kidding) pics

I’d go downtown and buy a Mercury or two.

 

First Welcome to owning a Merc. to Find New Old Parts is Like
Hitting the Lottery & Not spending any Money!
I have a Few NOS parts But I am Not selling them at This Time!
But if you want Good Old used Part's The Mad Greek in WI.

Just my 3.5 Cents

Live Learn & Die a Fool

 

I hope he named the Merc "Lazarus".

 

When people ask, I respond with “ It’s a good day! I woke up on this side of the dirt”, kind of like your merc, good save

 

in case you didn't catch it. in post 116 he sold it to pay taxes.

 

I'm GONNA BUY ME A MERCURY AND CRUISE IT UP AND DOWN THE ROAD!

 

A while back I met the guy who bought it again and it's getting built locally, and I have replaced it with another '51 Merc coupe so all is right with the world. It was a heartbreaker letting this one go though.

 

So are you going to start another build thread or continue with this one?

 

I'm going to start a new one. The new Merc has a story to go with it that's almost just as interesting. I want to get further into the car before I do that though.

 

Well you will get real good at metal working cause they don’t repop nothing for the mercs i redid my 51 and even learned to lead from my uncle. But they are beautiful cars.
