I just finished watching the 1984 movie "Streets of Fire". I find it hard to fathom that there seems to be only one decent photo of Tom Cody's (Michael Pare') stolen Merc ragtop on Google:
@quick85 Here are a few from the Internet Movie Cars Database: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_82739-Mercury-Convertible-1951.html Note the vertical mounted taillights.
Thanks Sancho. I saw those but picked the one I thought was best. I saw a bit of a debate on another site on whether this might also be the Merc from "Grease". Also, some guys believe that it went the whole kustom route and others feel other than the windshield chop, grille opening and tail lights the car is basically stock. Just like a crime scene, people see things differently.
I`ve seen the clone at least at 40 different shows. But it was breathtaking to see the original for the first time at the Peterson Museum this past Tuesday.
