    Car looked good in the older shot , not a fan of it now.
     
  4. Looked better maroon. From the outside, it's looks as if it was built back in the day. A peak inside and they totally left any traditional items out; nasty interior.

    Here is some more pictures from Rikster's web site.....

    http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_...rs/dave_stuckey_creations/king_of_mercs_1951/

    I don't remember the interior looking bad when i saw it in person. I think it looks good because it fits the time line that Stucky was going for...

    Happy Trails,

    Mick

    Yeah the interrior ****s major ***. It would make a cool project car. But too much needs to be changed IMO. Unless you are looking to win some trophies.

    Sorry, my bad, My needle wasn't in the right grove.....I was talking about
    the interior the way it was in 1984, the white and gold. I agree with you about the Lexsuks interior.

    Which also happened to be a very ugly self.

    I wont ask "Is it just me?" As it is I guess, but man I think that car is disgusting. Any form of it.

    Did not care for it all back in the 80's and can't stand it at all now. Too much...just too too much going on. I have never been a fan of the rolling juke box over the top merc thing.

    I thought I was the only one who thought this was one ugly Merc then and now! I'm glad I'm not alone. I can sort of live with the grille and bumper treatment, but it ****s from there back.

    I'd like to see more pics of the former self.


    I kinda dig the one old pic Mick posted. I'd lose the super 70's lake pipe and go with a smoothy.

    Maybe add a few more louvers to the hood (not :D)

    Just proves one more time that time and money equals nothing when combined with bad taste. Fido's *** would be an improvement.

    More a "Tilt-A-Whirl" in the front yard kinda guy... and lately I'm more a "I did it HER way" kinda guy.


    Reading back through this post I saw the old pics. Pretty right on for the period I'd say. I could do without the tail lights but could live with the rest of it quite easily.

    What's with the blue car in this pic? Is it me or is the rear tire leaning? Surely not a bug based ride...

    a alot of his trees...... The vary rare 1932 Ford roadster P/U is Kick ***. I think Mark Morality (spelling) owns the truck now its called the Eclipse. It used to be at the Starbird Museum for years. Borrowd a picture from LincolnLady........

    Happy Trails,

    Mick
