This '49 Mercury has had the treatment in approved '50s style. Chopped roof, "bullet" spotlights, dechromed and painted in "primer-look" satin black, as if it's waiting for that coat of Kandy-Apple Red. You can't see them, but it has '59 Cadillac tail lights...
Imagine this '51 Chevy painted a vile pea-soup green from sun visor to rear fender skirts, and you'd have a good idea of what my '50 Chevy looked like...
What else would you do with a '53 Willys Aero-Ace but yank out the cast-iron lump under the hood and drop in a Chevy V-8? Paint it bright orange, I guess...
I love '59 Buicks. They look cool when left original, but a good paint job really perks 'em up...
One more set of photos to follow. Maybe two, but no more than that. Maybe.

that top car sure has a small window!!
and one like the last one I saw driving around today, too! I wished I could have taken a picture of it to share!
birdie -- I'd trade you my neat stuff seen today for yours! ;-)
I'd say you both had a fun day. I'd like to tag along with either one of you. :)
I believe the Chevy is a '51, Scribbs. The '53s didn't have the droopy tail, but were a bit more square.
You were just baiting me, weren't you?
dal -- Now that you mention it, I'd rather you think it was a trap for you than a simple, stupid typo.
A '51 it is!
If I was rich, I would buy that 49 Merc right now for my dad! He's wanted one for years, but they're hard to find and we're all broker than broke.
