1953 Mercury Monarch

From Alex Emond, in Saskatchewan: "Power to the Purple! A seriously audacious old school custom . Very California ... for Swift Current. The Merc now sits on a 1991 Cadillac and the seats from said Cadillac dictate the interior. The doors are a strange electric trip where the window goes down then the door retracts , like a pocket door, into the body. The ass end was extended 18 inches to accommodate the Continental tire . The owner did all the work and he told me that he has put some 20,00 kliks on it ... Sunday drives , runs to car shows etc. . Time to sell . It's a bit much for me but I have to admire the workmanship. Saskatchewan area code is 306 , if anybody wants an outrageous grocery getter"

AH: Alex posted another Merc for sale a while back. And this one was for sale in Maine back in August

  1. In the fifties it was either a Mercury or a Monarch. Can't be both.
