...and the drive train, and the mirrors, and the interior, the headlights and the paint....etc.

 

Bad Bob gets the award for putting the most miles on a cool Merc . "Best Drive it everywhere" award !

 

Rikster to the rescue!

 

1933 chevy "Mercury series" coupe

 

Although its not a 49-51, I am still kinda fond of mine!

 

yeah , that was billy's merc , he bought it off of frank livingston
billy also owned rod powell's midnight sensation
a big time mercury collector and a good guy

 

that's a nice merc

 

someone posted it has a really bad inside?? why do you say that? and do anyone have a picture of it?

thanks,
Chris

 

I concur,my friend!!!!Sweet Merc...

 

Well,thank you Axle!!!! As long as I have oil....i'll keep driving the shit out of it,hahaha!

 

Yep! The interior in this beautiful Merc is hideous...

 

billy sold it a while ago

 

All I have at this moment... I never saved any photos of the interior when I saw them....

 

Uhhhh, Merc...? What Merc....? Oh... the Car... Yeah it's nice, too.

 

i hate it when ppl take the dog leg out of 49-51 mercs doors

 

Oh best Mercury ever built, I thought it was every Mercury ever built!

 

Bob....you think all NON FACTORY interior is hideous.

id be curious to see if is THAT bad!! No one has a picture?

the last conversation we had about interiors you called my, recently purchased, Lincoln town car seats..... GAY. which is not only obnoxious but also rude, silly, and opinionated! they might not be as nice(well i know they are not that nice) as factory, but GAY is a bit much.

they are a great fit, inexpensive, plus they dont have to be recovered.....all these reasons help to keep it with the "traditional Kustom" mindset. much more "Traditional Kustom" then searching high and low for a Factory seat that would need recovering which would end costing WAY more money. plus time!!

You need to check yourself. a better option of what to say would have been "those are much better then the seats you had yesterday(tan Saturn buckets)!! maybe you will get lucky and score a facktory bench at a swap meet in the future. until then...at least your merc isnt rusting away in some garage! plus you need bumpers my throw on get out there & drive that piglet".

Tradition Kustoms, imho..

 

It is THAT BAD!!! but you asked for it!!!








So please forget the interior... and concentrate on the outside!

 

Ooo, that interior is bad. It actually looks like a model.

 

best- barris or barris...

"my favorite" unchopped kustom- the first merc i ever rode in as a kid in the early 80's... even then, pulling into shows with the tail dragging, i realized how lucky i was...i would never chose to build a merc w/ quad lights, molded lake pipes, shaved bumpers, and no chop, but i'd love to own this one.

 

Jessies Merc is nice, but.... no hubcaps?? C´mon now! Thats just plain wrong.


Not really a "finished" car, but for stance and the chop, this is one of my all time favourites. Ulf Christianssens car.

 

and the fonze built the best mercs .... all of them

 

If you look at post #198,the pic speaks for itself.
As far as my "opinion" about the Lincoln Town Car seats. That's just the way I feel. When I posted that,I hadn't noticed that's what you had. I see alot of cars that put Lexus,Caddy,Lincoln,etc,seats in their cars,and it looks like shit! Some guys have re-covered them to appear older or more period correct,and don't look too bad. But usually they #1-sit too high,#2-have headrests,#3-the seats usually still have the emblems on them. I'm sure you probably got them cheap,and I don't know what your plans are,but the statement I made was based on ALL the other ones i've seen. Plus this IS a Traditional website,so what opinion would you expect me to have? If I offended you...sorry,but that's the way I feel about interiors...

 

RIKSTER,
you are correct again!! its not my personal taste in interior. specially concidering he has worked pretty hard to get it that bad!?!

Bob,
i hope someday i get seats that meet your approval.
until then....im going with the "run whatcha brung" mind set!!

Thanks,
Chris

 

I don't understand? Whay is my Merc not mentioned? I'm very upset. I may throw a temper tantrum.
Bastards.

 

'k, before the temper tentrum starts, I wanna ask a CRAZY Lincolne-Merc question!!! How's THAT for defuisng a tantrum?

Years ago, I bought a Plymouth from a guy with what HE CALLED a "baby Lincoln" WAY in the back of his place. I have to admit it was sweet. But I didn't pay enouhg attention to see if it was really a Lincoln or a Merc. It was late-'40s/early'50s vintage.

ANYBODY out there in HAMBland ever hear this term "BABY LINCOLN" ??? If so, is it a Merc or a Lincoln?
