designed for comfort is right, you feel like a million bucks when riding in a lead slead. to me it doesnt matter how fast you are going because you get looks wherever you go. the old timers nod at you and the new age guys tip their hats (those who have respect anyway) for me being only 26 yrs old i should be riding around in a fast and furious car right? but also being mexican i love the bomb look of this particular car. 49-51 mercurys are the best for lead sleads.....low and slow
Great looking car. Love it down to every detail. My favorite part is the sound. This video is depressing. My 63 year old dad has his dream 1949 2 door primard Merc body on rolling chassi sitting in his shop knowing that it will never be what is in his dreams. I would give anything to se that car the way he wants it so he is happy. Good lookin' ride men.
I assume RHD means right-hand-drive. We dont show those cars because we haven't had any to show. Those were all shipped out of the US, since we use left-hand drive.
We do have an RHD that is in the shop now, a car from New Zealand, that will be on the web-site next month.
Why do people Chop the top off? I know its stylish but cmon these rare cars being choped down? Anyways I would like to own one of these with a supercharged Flathead V8 that doesnt have a mailbox sticking out the top of the hood.
a guy i worked with once tried to get me to believe that he wanted a 49-51 merc because a p-51 mustang engine would fit in it...he was so full of shit...i love this car though...
well this is also from a guy who said a friend of his had a cobra with a muncie 5 speed with a hydralic pump that shifted it automatically so fast that he couldnt reach up to the dash to grab a dollar bill because of the force...the guy was completely full of shit...i talked to my auto shop professor and he said that the way the merlin engine worked there was no way it could power the car...i dunno...stupid idea anyway...
It would of looked so much cleaner with no latino pin striping. Solid colors look so less tacky. Everyone tries to be an artist. A true artist knows when to put the paint brush down. Twilight
man o man shes a beaty , i got a 1950 ford im borin and strokin the flatty to 304 cubes with a mustange toploader 4-speed... you got an job openings lol whats it got fer mufflers smithys??

is it true this car is a bad handler?
Salesman 3 years ago
This particular car handles as well as most early 50's cars. Its a big, heavy car riding on 50's chassis and suspension.
Compared to today's cars, it handles like a city bus. But then it was not designed for driving fast. It was designed for comfort.

its supposed to be cruised not raced around bends.

@Salesman depends on your idea of bad.. if youve ever driven a big car on a fast turn, or experienced body roll, then no..lol

This car was already chopped when we got it. We did a re-resto on it. You can see the complete project on our website.

LaOnicap1972 3 years ago
The enngine bay is big, but I doubt a v-12 Rolls-Royce Merlin engine would fit without major modifications... but it might be doable.
Of course, the torque that motor produces would twist it like a pretzel.

LaOnicap1972 3 years ago
Very dumb idea, especially when there are so many other proven options that could provide more than enough power.
Some people just find fantasy more interesting than reality. I wonder if he wanted to wings on the merc, too.

The customer gets what the customer wants... its a "business" thing.
And since when is pinstriping a "latino" thing? That's been a "hot rod" thing since the 50's.
800hotrod5 4 years ago
someone ought to tell Hennith Howard AKA "Von Dutch" that he was latino....thanks for letting us know onearmbiker.
keep arms in the "short bus" windows at all times,otherwise....well you know.
