Now thats what I call over the top,,,,,4 door to two door drop top conversion!!!!! More pics please........CQQL

 

Yeah, what Ether said! That is some kind of conversion right there!

 

COOL!!! Looks like a big undertaking...Hope to follow the progress.

 

It's a sad sad day when you have to put your Merc away for the winter........... HURRY UP SUMMER!!!!

 

hey lowmerc50...
your merc is badass!!
i love it

 

What hupcaps does this Merc have?.........they look as though the go pass the rim and have spears over the tire or something.

 

Um, well, uh, these were on a prototype rocket car that Mercury Motor Company and the United States Goverment was experimenting on back in the 50's I can't devulge how I came to aquire them due to national security reasons, I hope you understand. Thank you in advance, Lomerc50

 

I'm in will put a picture on as soon as I can do it. I have a stock looking 49 Mercury with 65000 original miles.E49merc

 

I love kool hub caps. For one thing you can put one together kinda cheap. Those that
you are running on the Merc is not cheap but over the top kool. Do you run those down
the highway? I'm working on a different cap idea for my Merc but I'm afraid of being to
heavy and fly'n off. Please bring those caps with you when you come to Salina this year.
I can't wait to see them in motion. Don't tell anyone but I might have to risk not getting
caught steal'n one or two. LOL!!!

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Must be a****** to clean the whitewalls ?

 

Clean whitewalls are for........

 

I don't really care for them. Too much going on there. I'm more into the simple stuff. Smooth...not a lot of details.

 

Do you drive with them?.........They could be very dangerous if they ever come off....................Damn could you imagine getting taken out by a hubcap.

 

They are some nice flames! I also have classified US military parts on my Merc.

 

i just can't stop thinking about these hubcaps!!
i am going to have to rig myself up a set that are similar.
imitation is the sincerest form of flatery

 

StrayKat, Ya I run them 70 Precent of the time and they stay on real good. I have about 100 hubcaps. (LUV HUBCAPS) If you steal (borrow) them at least there go on a KOOL car. C Ya

 

Yea Bad Bob,
These are not for everybody. Be boring if everbody like the same thing. Nothing better than a 57 caddy hubcap!!!!

 

my merc is almost back on the road thanks god im just waitin for the drive shaft to com back from the shope and im almost done closeing on my first house this year has been crazy! But thank god i still have a job i didnt fall out of escrow came close a couple of times and the merc is almost back on the road look forward to running into u guys at up coming shows

 

57 are******in but my fav is 56 Caddys. Just hard to get them to fit anything but a caddy rim!!!!! Took a little work to get them on my Merc!!!

 

Found that out the hard way. Got a killer deal on a set of PERFECT '56 Caddy caps. NO WAY they were gonna fit on my rims and had no room for a set of reversed wheels. Made a profit on them,but hated to see them go...

 

I hear ya Bob. I have a set of NOS, never been on car, 53 Caddy's. I can't bring myself to modify them and stock 53 Caddy hubcaps won't clear the disc brakes. Probably going to end up selling them.

 

New member...2tones10. That makes 297 members!!!! Almost 300!!!!!

 

heres a pic of car!

 

very stead progress on the car, pretty much weekly, glad to be a member of the club.

 

Beautiful Merc! Keep the pictures coming!

 

How did you get them to fit?

 

Count me in!!! Traded my '26 to my friend Jeremy and got this in return!!! Just in time for the family!

 

That is pure evil right there.................love it
