    My friend just got this back from the upholstery shop. It's a 51 Coupe that he's been working on for 20 years. Today were going to get it running.

    3.5" chop. Front grille bar is from a 58 Lincoln with 49 Ford turn signal lenses. Chrysler wires. 51 Mercury hubcap medallions in the seats. 60 Lincoln arm rests and door handle trim.

    The Color is very similar to what he had a 50 Merc painted in 1961.

    The pics don't really do it justice. It's more of a peach. I think it's a Lincoln Color but Mike forgets. He'll look it up.

    It sure does, doesn't it? Makes sense, Mike likes Lincolns.

    Beautiful car BTW!
