To be honest, I was druelling over everything except the Merc. WTH?? He doesn't see enough tri-five stuff as it is? Probably has a 350 in it. Funny, I coulda lived with it if he started with a '55 and added the Merc stuff, lol.
Rita is one of the best customs ever imho.

 

I'll agree with you Tex. To much chevy influence on that Merc. I found myself drooling over the green 36 and the maroon coupe. I even was digging the Dodge van a little. Don't see them too often.

 

Kinda liked the Packard myself.

 

I have 2 mercs and that was the poorest looking 54 I have ever seen

 

Not a fan!

 

I think it ****s.What a waste

 

Here is another view of it and some history to go along with it,as you may have read on the Main Board "Blackie" Gejeian recently p***ed away. https://www.good-guys.com/hotnews/?p=17329 I share the views several of you have I'm not a big fan of the front styling,but curious what they did with the hood as any 52-54 Ford and Merc owners know the hood hinges ****.

 

ditto .. it's bufugly -(**** ugly)

 

I'm with you, Tex. That Rita is one fantastic car
