I know this thread is dead but I was reading one of my old magazines, Super Hot Rods and Custums. Febuary 86. On page 15 it shows Wendals 51 in the Gray painted version. On page 17 shows a pic of Dave Bugarians 51 Merc circa 1956. then on page 18 it shows the 1958 version with 4 headlights and scalopes. Just thought it was kind of De-ja-vu.
