When I was a kid, a lady worked at a local eatery drove a `46-`48 Mercury Coupe. Almost all cars of that day speedometers read 100 MPH as tops, not the Mercury! They read 110 MPH! My buddies and I surmised this had to be the fastest car in town!

If I were you and could afford it, I would jump all over that Merc Convertible. They don't make'em anymore.
