Trying to locate nice 53 mercury hood trim. Does anyone know if 54 trim would work? This is for my gf 53 Mercury Monterey. Thanks
Anyone know what year and model this from? I’m looking for the matching water temperature and amp gauge cluster. Any help is appreciated.
Not really anything major just plan on it being a cruiser. My 46 Chevy is more of a custom.
