Re: In search of “Wayward Wind”

I can’t tell how much I appreciate y’all chiming in. It’s most likely the original or one of the early owners of this Merc was listening to this song on the radio and it inspired him or her to name...

In search of “Wayward Wind”

Hey fellas I recently acquired this 1939 Mercury grille set. As you can see at some point in its life the owner hand painted the name “Wayward Wind” on the lower lip.
