Projects I bought a 47 Mercury and a 31 model A that have been barn mates for 57 years

A big bug eating grin lol

 

Large cheesy one

 

Got a radio

 

Great report, great cars! I just found it, I'm excited to see what happens next. Regards, Harald

 

Great find!

 

Well of course you did....you can't swing a cat without hitting half a dozen '47 Merc radios anywhere you look. LOL Great find!!!!

 

Just started this thread WOW
Thank you

If it was mine I’d leave the roof as is and rub it with some Gibbs Oil and the clear satin or flat. It is so cool and in my opinion would be the highlight of the car. Again if it was mine I’d do some good body work and paint everything but the roof candy red or green .
Cool cool cool

Yep get it running, do you plan on rebuilding and getting the flathead running sure would be cool in the Mercs stable mate.

I for one am seeing a vision from 1958 when one would have combined those two old cars and made one *****in '47 Merc powered, Merc braked, 2 spd. rear ended model A coupe chopped with a Coke sign roof insert

 

I guess I missed this news the first time around. Man those are both great scores!!
