Best Mercury ever built?

Another great merc that didn't get the recognition it deserved. I believe it was the inspiration for Javiers merc (see A32flathead's post)

 

Nachtfalter.

 

Very cool Rik. Has it been seen since paint?

 

My favorite is Kevan Sledge 40 Merc

 

Mercules just killed my erection, is Carey Hart the guy that sang "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night"?

 

Rudy = RULER !!!

 

HAHAHA no that was Corey Hart. Carey Hart is a motocross rider.

 

True craftsmen ship !

 

Someone Fucked that car up ...... WTF

 

i'm just taking the piss, it's the worst looking merc i have ever seen and it had to come out of australia. LOL

 

Sorry to hear that, but we for sure have more than are fair share of people who should never have picked up a welder or wrench!!!

 

well said ! Sam Barris Merc, L. Bettancourt Merc. as well ! The Hirohata hands down is the tops. when you refer to Kustom Merc it's the one !

 

why am i posting on this thread? maybe i should go to work. i like most of em except that v10 powered piece o garbage from aussy. hehe, could this car in the pic be turned into a custom merc??? maybe jessie could work some magic.........................

 

Guess I'm partial here... and for a good reason...
Nick Matranga's 1940!

 

This is the best of the newer builds for sure.

 

I'm with this 100% BUT, I would add Paul Bragg's '51 convertible. (So alright, 98%).

 

GOT to be sarcassim,LOL....

Real hard to choose between the Hirohata,Sam Barris,and Matranga. So i'm gonna say...three-way tie!

 

Very diplomatic Bob!!

 

YEP!

 

A 49 or 50 Mercury is sort of like a 32 Ford.....in that I've never seen one that I liked 100%. There's always a few things I'd change no matter how perfect they seem. They are the coolest Mercs though.

But now I'll piss everybody off probably, but if I could have any Mercury.....it would be Dyno Don's 64 Comet.

 

HAMB Merc Club....mostly for members cars though.

 

What the hell is a Merc???

 

Damn ....looking at that Matranga Merc in front of Fremont High.....beautiful car in a beautiful time. Fremont just a block from my brothers house and about a couple miles from mine. It's enough to bring a tear to a glass eye.

Those rods from the past are the originals, created from what the builders saw and liked in the times. Classic statements still looking good all these years later.

Todays copies are nice, Jesse's Merc is beatiful, but nothing says more about what it was and is than those old cars.

 

That's the one! Thanks Bad Bob. I was wondering where you were when this thread started.

 

I don't know about the best or even if there is a best one..
But this chopped '40 is kinda nice.

We seem to have a very long tradition over here of talented builders with no fucking design sense whatsoever.

 

Another goodie.

Best merc? There are so many good looking merc out there if you broke it down to years 40 mercs, 49-51 merc,s,52-54 merc,s and 55-56 merc,sall cool cars to start with some are cool mild customs some full rad and some just stock with updates all too cool to pick one

 

WOW, this one is really nice and smooooothe. Reminds me of the Barris Quesnel Merc, ''JERRYS PURPLE RAGE". RIK PUT UP A REAR SHOT!!
