The famous Mercurys are the next generation of lead-sled era cars with the original sleekness applied by Ford Motor Company then developed by a couple of generations of hot rod & custom guys. This 1946 Merc isn't sleek, but it was a welcome sight on a grey day in Maine March with the first drip/splash of mud season out here on the Wolfe's Neck Road. Kind of a warmish day, maybe 41 degrees, and suddenly Maine cars are breaking out of the barns. This one has a pretty close to original body; most of the running gear is from a mid-90s Crown Victoria. The engine was a tight fit, but a fit.
