Thought this was pretty interesting. It had a bit of a back story in the photo album but not much information.
I saw bits of that merc in the background of pics from the show this weekend but not of the merc itself. Looked interesting and indeed it is. Thanks for the pics! I like it. I like the shoebox in the album as well. Pretty nice first car!
Not custom like many of those beautiful cars already posted here. Mine is a '50, dad had a '51. I've loved these cars ever since seeing a phpoto of dad's.
Interesting work done on the "mini Merc" Volvo 122. The hood peak is the giveaway. I always thought the back kinda looked like a '54 Chevy. Never imagined one as a Merc. Cool, but I'll take the real Merc.
Here is a previous post about this car. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/anybody-recognize-this-1949-mercury.1199148/
