Hi Brian,
Love to see a pic (or two) of the Merc! Great idea on your setup to paint both sides of the door - you continue to think outside of the box, and to innovate.
Regards, Doug

The old ford is really looking great Brian, going to be a nice ride when you're done!

Here it is.
That's got to be a pretty rare Mercury! I can't recall when I last seen one like that.. maybe 1959? It looks good, and I like it..
Very cool pic, and car! I don't recall if I ever saw one of those, or maybe at the time was just unappreciative. I find a number of cars that I just looked past in the old days, I now appreciate.
I cannot say that I ever saw one of those.
It is a pretty rare car. Since he bought it about 4 or 5 years ago we have only seen 2 other 59 Mercurys. None of them were the same 2 door hardtop Montclair model. One at back to the 50's (out of over 12,000 cars) was a Monterey 2 door sedan and there was a Montclair at Iola this year that was a 2 door convertible.
He bought it from a local car dealer that was selling it for a family that had inherited the car from their father who lived in the Kingsport TN area. It is in pretty good shape as it was in that area until my son bought the car.
