So went to my local treasure hole today and stumbled upon a piece of a hood with an emblem on it and i think it came off and older mercury marauder...its a chrome m with the marauder head on it any ideas on the year..ill post pics in a few
You should have that hood emblem rechromed then sell it on ebay, if you dont have a use for it I mean. I've just bought a hood ornament on there, and if THAT one you have was rechromed and in great shape, you should be able to fetch over $100 or so for that.
"Mercury" is the mythologic god of speed..... "Marauder" is a model name they used in the '60's. the head in any Mercury badging is that of Mercury himself. i know. i'm a freaking nit picker.
man that's what I was thinking, then I thought hell I got a rare Marauder hubcap out in the garage..lol
The M is from a Canadian Mercury truck, in Canada they don't sell Ford badged trucks they just get a M badge.
i've long since stopped wondering how stuff ends up here! i've seen some oddball stuff locally in the past thirty years. i saw a '57 Renault Dauphine less than a month ago, that the owner says has been here since new.
speaking of i see u got some falcons any parts you may need i know where there are two very solid cars
Maybe it was the deck lid from a '57 Merc. The wagon has one like it on the tailgate. http://www.mercomatic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/13ce_12.jpg
It'll probably cost $200 or more to have an ornament of that size and detail rechromed. I'd just clean it up and sell it as-is.
