This Mercury was originally reworked in 1986 in York Penn. The flathead Ford 100 HP 8BAwas rebuilt at that time and the speedo zeroed out. The owner passed away and the wife could not part with it and it sat in a garage for 20 years until she passed away. The kids didn't want it and it was bought and shipped to Florida. Because of sitting the gas tank was removed,flushed, nd coatedalong with new fuel and brake lines. New wheel cylinders and master cylinder were replaced. The radiator was removed and rodded with an auxiliary fan installed. Seals and bearings in the rear wheels were replaced.

The car has been nosed and decked with an early 50's Buick styles grill. The metallic maroon paint has a couple bubbles and knicks but not bad for a 20+ year paint job. All the gauges work but for the clock. The temp. gauge was disconnected and hooked up to a more modern and accurate temp. gauge.
