NOW, I know why that song says "I'm gonna buy me a Mercury or two."! And that Lincoln Zephr is even in my color!!

Whoa!! Had to capture that pic!

Almost every kid on the block wanted one of these when they grew up, I still really like the look!

I think a few did get there and still have them! Wish I had some of my old clunkers - or so I called them at the time!! LOL!!

It's like collecting comics, baseball cards or Hot Wheels, who knew?!?!?

 

*Clips* From Land Speed History​

A good friend of mine pointed something out to me today while viewing this thread.

I soon agreed with him after he mentioned the accomplishments of the following two gentlemen.

Consider the time period, coupled with the fact these two vehicles attained their records by mechanical drive!
(I've included a link on the following reply for those interested),

Here is a concept ford called the 49

 

I'll take one

 

Nice offering from Ford the following year...

 

I have owned a 49,51,53,55,56,57 oh heck almost every year since then, I like cars. My mom kept a list of the cars I owned in my eightenth year. That year I owned 107 cars. Five in one day. I kept busy when I was younger, I was a wheeler Dealer.

 

Keeping with the fifties, Custom 50' Studebaker.

 

Good history on stud', I like this one!

54' Champion Starlight, pleasing lines...

 

That was a mean looking Studebaker! That '49 Ford looks like it could be made today!! Nice lookin'! Thanks for the link, GF! I found some Studes too, I have been havin' a hard time resizing them to upload, let's see?!? A '54 Commander,beauty,,right?

There was even a pick up, which I didn't even know they made? Did you?
I think this is a '58 pickup.

 

This guy is putting a 425 in this little Studebaker, there is a web site for Studebaker fans, 13,000 of them in one club, amazing there are still that many and more around!?!

 

I think this club is in Florida. The site is http://home.att.net/~mrfixit/ I hope that was right, there are links to alot of other cars.
Marja

 

No, that won't work, but, this will, http://studebakerstreetrods.0catch.com there are links to other fans of Studebakers.

Saw some sleek rides at a small neighborhood car show, they seem to be everywhere lately. That made me want to find some more '50s',60s' and custom cars. Hope ya like these! A 1950 Dean Bryant Merc
