Projects COVID Custom Acquisition -'39 Mercury

Bloody ripper! Everything is "just right".

Most states, if not all, can have LHD cars made before a certain year. There are still plenty of RH conversions done, mainly for convenience.

 

Congratulations. That car has the look. You chose well.

 

Sweet!

 

Nailed it! And all the goodies, too! Congrats!

 

Hey Ozmerc, thanks for those excellent pics! You definitely have a good eye. That car is gorgeous. However, I'd be very careful hanging around with those two sketchy guys shown in one of the pics! LOL

 

This is the very same car when it was owned by the guy who imported it... Its gone through a few little changes since then.

 

Very nice. Enjoy!!

 

I'm not sure when that changed but it has. This is Engineer certified for all modifications including left-hand drive for street legal use. Compliance plate registered.

 

I certainly count myself very fortunate. Having said that I would also say.... never say never !!!!

 

Nice car. The left hand drive isn't a bother?

 

Ya , You got a good one.

 

Stunning Merc!

 

Pretty car. Can you tell me how much the top is chopped?

 

I would think the only downside to that car is that you might find yourself polishing the paint off of it. "Have fun" is an understatement. Cheers mate.

 

Damnnnn...that is sweet. Congratulations!!!

 

In the 50's customs like this were "Nosed and Decked" and no one used the stock 39 taillights, great car, needs to be taken back to a legit. 50's look. Like the Ron Martinez 39 Merc built by Scott Guildner.

 

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey Mike... No the LHD is not a problem at all. It's taking a little bit to get a handle on but I do like the change.

 

Hi Birdman... No unfortunately I can't. The car was already done when I purchased it. Having said that my estimate is three inches in the front and four in the rear.

 

That is a nice problem to have....

 

The Martinez '39 looks fantastic. I will be doing some personalisation over the next season or two, but for the moment I am just enjoying owning and driving it.

 

And to think you wanted a 32. This is a beautiful car.

 

There’s a really nice unchopped 39 running around Brisbane. But when you see it it’s hard to believe they can be so dramatically and aesthetically altered just by taking the roof down. It must have been so exciting for Sam Barris when he did the first one way back when and started a whole movement that lives to this day.

 

Black?

 

Yes. Saw it at Cars and Coffee a year ago.

 

Cool one, enjoy, good luck !

 

Love it! Like everthing about it ,the stance , color ,wheels, striped interior ,motor, on the money!! Ya done well pilgrim!!! Enjoy

 

Wow what a great car. Congratulations patience pays offwhat a winner. Just minute while I wipe my chin off.

 

Very nice car. Enjoy all the drives in your new car.
