Technical Misc 49-51 Mercury questions & answers

great car!

 

@19Fordy we originally talked about the side windows.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I do have another question for tonite though:

does anyone know the paintcode I could use to order/mix some Mercury Alberta Blue colour?

 

Guys, if you ever happen to wonder why you have no rear brakes this might be the reason

 

I was not able to find a paint code for Mercury Alberta Blue so a finnish company called http://provari.fi measured the paint with 98.5% precision and made me a spraybottle and a small jar with "Fleet Sweden Cobalt Blue" paint, all this took some 20 minutes
Cost me 35$.

 

Hey guys, could any of you help decipher the serial plate from my 49, please?

 

I had some trouble with the passenger side outside door handle which broke. Its not very sturdy built on 49´s.
Got another one which was not looking so hot and took it to a local chrome shop.
They`ve been doing their stuff since 1962 and tried to chrome it 3 different times and they were not satisfied with the result.
I was though, the troubled area is not visible when the door handle is installed.
Now the new handle is installed and working nicely.
