Motion Pictures 1960 Mercury: The Odd One

Getting my ragtop painted and ready for the engine. Summit coastal blue

 

If all goes as planned, about 3 hours and i got one of these.
Its 4d ht montclair.

 

You got it dirty already!

 

Its been indeed rainy day here.

 

When I was a child I remember being in traffic with my parents and seeing the taillights of a metallic green 1960 wagon at dusk with those lights on. I was enamored by them for some reason. Every time I see a 1960 Mercury it reminds me of that time, I have no idea why it stuck with me like that.

 

Is that a model or a toy?
Thank you for your response.

Also looking at 15" Cragars with skinny WW's. What width/backspacing did you use? Those look sharp.

Mine has been inching towards completion for a quarter-century now. Damn kids.
