    Classic perfection. It seems to be moving down the hi-way; no sound, smooth and beautiful.

    I remember Pat Ganahl saying in his coverage of customs at Pebble Beach a few years back (TRJ #31) that customs were just a different breed and didn't belong at a place like Pebble Beach with the more refined European cars on display. If only this car could have been there. This thing would be at home pulling up to an opera or a knife fight.

    Rudy "gets" it. Always has. People will be talking about this Mercury fifty years from now. A modern day classic.

    Guess what entry would draw one of the biggest crowds if this car is presented at Pebble Beach? Excellent concept and execution. I look forward to seeing it.

    Art-really GOOD art.
    "The ultimate goal after four years of alterations, is that nothing looks touched at all." That says it all for me.
