Anyone know anything about this Merc

I was looking for ideas on my 53 today. To tell you the truth it looks like theres not alot out there in the way of 53 Merc hardtops. Seen the JAMCO Merc even got a little inspire from the post Ryan put up on Jimmie Voughns 54 ford. But I just havent seen enough to say for sure wich way i'm gonna go. But i did run across Johnny Rosier's 1953 Mercury. If anyone knows anything about this car let me know more phots anything. Oh I found it on this cool site some of you might know already. Some may not. If not check it out. http://members.fotki.com/Rikster/

 

I'm digging the Packard??/Lincoln?? headlights. Thats bad ass. But sorry, no info but I am interested. I bet Rikster or 00Mack kno who was the first to oyster on the hood tho.

 

This just ended on ebay. Old magazine cover. KNUX!

 

From the pages......KNUX!

 

This one belongs to one of my coffee buddies. He talked about selling it on Thursday.

Hey thanks twochops. And is you guys know of any other 52-54 mercs I love to see some pics friends.

 

was built by Johnny Rosier of Norwalk CA he was a body and fender man by trade, it was called Black Gold, he was a member of the Auto Butchers of East Los Angeles, Von Dutch did the striping. I hope this help a little..

ive always seen the back of that merc, i never knew that it was that customized that much up front

 

Here is a picture of fellow Silhouettes member Gary Johnson's cool mild fifties kustom '54 Merc (the red one).
And a one from the H.A.M.B. site.

 

I know this is an old post but I just came across this and Johnny Rosier is my grandfather. I am looking for this car. If you have any info or any pics or just anything on any of Johnny's cars send it to me please scadrfeq@yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance!

 

Anyone?

 

A little insperation for ya!

 

Interesting car, altogether very tastey, ...the up-sweep on the fore-end of the sidetrim takes a little getting used to, but taken as a whole I think it could grow on ya.

 

If I can't find the original I know what direction I will go with mine!!!

 

Here are some more shots of the 53 that I was just emailed.

 

I like the one in your avatar better. Lippy

 

Thank You!

 

Your car is pretty sweet as is. If you want to "clone" grandpa's car, Start with something a little less.
