    "Gonna buy me a Mercury, cruise up and down the road" - "Mercury Blues" - Steve Miller Band. That came straight into my head on seeing this. Really sleek, Merv. I like the flames, too.

    That looks great, Merv. I had a buddy with an old Merc lead sled a few years back.

    Had a girlfriend in art school who had a 49 Merc. Looked just like this one. Except minus the flame job. Oh and her's had rear wheels.

    I think these custom models had hydraulics to lift rear suspension when started.
    They had covers too. http://topgir.com.ua/img/1288873317/228.jpg

    Thank you for your kind comments, Gray, Gary, Bob and Xufa. Your right this Nice Merc has a Hydraulic system. I checked out how much these are going for and they average about $50,000.00. There is one just like this but with gold flames going for $39,000.0

    Looking good! I like the flames too. It would be nice to have one of these to cruise in.
