    Lowering blocks , one fine 9 , when it was cool. Didn't they always give one to a late model?

    When did they stop using those? I always thought it set them apart.

  11. Technically, it isn't a "late model"....:rolleyes:
    Jack Florence 1948 Mercury "Wild Kemp"

    Appears to be customized with the front end of a 1976 Caprice.....

    I didn't even notice the lowering blocks until I just went back and looked.... I was distracted by the 48 Merk that apparently had run up and slammed that 76 Caprice in the ass....now they are one......odd car...

    We have a lowering block for our Pontiac, I love that award, they were cool. I think cost is why they quit.

    That's better than a award that I received one year at a run in Eugene Oregon..during a poker run at one of the stops I got out of the car and stepped right in a pile of dog crap....at the end of the weekend during the awards ceremony my name was called and I was presented with a roll of toilet paper signed by the members of the club sponsoring the event ....still have it...it's been probably 20+ years.....

    Agreed. I know it's his car and his money, but that looks like a waste of perfectly good tin to me.

    In this post, you scanned 3 of my all time favorite Customs, plus the car that inspired me to put hydraulics on my car 30 years ago. Thank you. And then there`s the Mr. Merc owned by Ed Leopold. Can you spot it.
