The more complete the car, the easier the restoration process. Some of the Mercury specific parts are getting hard to source.

Thank you - The progress on your Ol' Blue will be enjoyable. I'm better at watching than doing!
There was a Country Western song . . . late '60s? 'I'd rather have a Mercury' - or - 'I'd rather drive a Mercury' solid solid Merc . . . AND a convertible! |
