Features The Hirohata Mercury price: Take a guess and win a prize!

Its not just a car, its Art and Inspiration.

 

I guess $1,234,501

 

$625K and won't meet reserve

 

It is iconic to people who like customs and/or appreciate Americana. The real question will be if it appeals to at least two people in that category. I agree with the opinion that it won't meet the reserve.

 

$1,010,000. Hopefully the new owner doesn’t lock it away to never be seen publicly again.

 

$515,000.00

 

850,000.00

 

$795,000.00 US

 

1,150,000

 

$427,655.00

 

$269,500.00

 

When does it cross the block?

 

Saturday the 15th 1951 Hirohata Mercury Custom | S152 | Kissimmee 2022 (mecum.com) 156th out of 307 on the Saturday docket if they stay in order.
Car auction starts at 9 AM Eastern time for the Saturday cars.

 

Well being that Wayne Carini is brokering this car it wont sell unless its over 1.2

 

$1 Bob!

 

I have followed along with this thread but I waited until today to post. Based on what I have observed idiots pay for cars that are not even in the same league as this one, I will say $3,500,000. This is the car that defines customs. It presents good taste, not gaudy excess. It is one of one.

 

In the news this morning ... someone paid 3.18 million for a Superman comic book. To do what? Let your friends come over and look at it? Maybe even let them read it? Doubt it.

But I would pay 3.5 million for the Hirohata Merc, (if I had that kinda money). And I would share it with all my kustom loving friends. Come see it, come sit in it, come drive it. Can't make it? I'll bring it to you.

 

54delray - nice to dream - two things important to me 1/ it stays in the US 2/it will be placed where the public will be able to see it in person

 

One could argue that it would be better appreciated and more people could se it if it went to Europe. Probably not so much other continents. Way more kids, now young adults with crazy money, read comic books than were into 70 year old custom automobiles.
Guess we'll see.

 

$351,427

 

$2,500,000+ !!!

 

$1,193,700.00

 

$3,001,500.00

 

I can hit the price exactly. $way more money that I will ever have.
@Jive-Bomber just send the T shirt you know that I am exactly right.

 

You can have my shirt when I win. But, I'm guessing "no sale"

 

1.2 mill

 

Friend down there sent me this today….

 

Slammed it is

 

Two things of note: 1-not much pf a crowd. 2-who leaves a potentially multi-million dollar car sitting by itself in the middle of a cavernous convention center?

 

$1,025,000.00
