Technical 1960 Merc customize ideas wanted

I finally got the brakes done on my 1960 Merc Monterey convertible hotrod. I'm looking for ideas for mild customizing for it I do have a pair of genuine cruiser skirts for it. I also have lakes pipes for it. Thanks

 

I had a 60 park lane cruiser years ago,was a great ride.convertible has got to be rare???

 

Lowered
Bell flower exhaust
Pinner white walls
Some sexy 60’s wheels !
Radirs, steel slots , some kinda 5 spoke .

if ya wanna get funky Watson paint and sharkskin interior !!!


That car is sexy as all get out !!!


Post some pics of your ride man !!!!

 

Those 60' Mercury's are already so custom looking stock that in my mind it would be difficult to improve on the stock grill and taillights. What about a fade paintjob?

 

This one is pretty good looking.

 

@Moriarity would have some pics for sure!

You sure don't see many of them out and about, at least around here.

 

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing about the 59 grille.

 

In my opinion, as well as many other's, 60's car need minimal customization because Detroit was already taking so many styling ques from the show cars of the era. Maybe a grille using stainless tubing and move the center set of headlights closer to the outer ones by a few inches. Chrome steel wheels with skinny whitewalls would be a good look. Lower the back a couple inches and run Bellflower tips behind the rear wheels. If you want to go a little crazy, you can do dual frenched antennas on the quarter panel. Finish it off with a subtle fade paint job, nothing too crazy.

 

I really like the red cars mild scallops

 

I like the scallops but not the color of the black and gold car

 

They look amazingly good in Wimbledon white

 

Lower, skirts, pipes, full moon hubcaps and drive it.
