    I've been searching the net and google trying to find out the GAWR rating for the front and rear of my 53 Mercury HT coupe with no luck. Does anyone here by chance happen to know? Thank you

    If I understand GAWR correctly, that is a fully loaded vehicle........in the case of a passenger car, 4 adult passengers, full tank, luggage, etc. I don't think they were using GAWR in the 50's. The 95 Mark VIII donor car for my '57 had a gawr weight on the id tag of 4901 lbs. if I remember correctly.
