Default Car Show With The Merc

Had the 52 Merc (and Chevy II) out to a local car show this past weekend. This time I parked beside a well preserved original condition 46 two door Ford. I did not get a real good photo of it but I think it shows up in the video. The Merc handled the 40 mile round trip at 80 degrees without a problem.

You two guys must have been in the “Patina” division. I am glad to see you exercising the Merc when weather permits.

Yes, big fan of patina here and these two cars had it big time. I think we were also the only flathead powered vehicles there except for a Model T Ford.
