I had a '52 Merc from '57 to '59. I then traded it for a '57 and kept the '57 for eight years. That '57 is still my all time favorite car of all the ones I've owned. We hit 42 states together. And there's an interesting story with it.
It was a medium green metallic 4 door hardtop with a white top and anodized gold panels in the fins on the rear quarters. I'd owned it for about two years and had never seen another exactly like it. Then one evening I parked in the parking lot at the Staff NCO Club at MCAS Cherry Point, NC when a MSgt. yelled clear across the parking lot, "Man, am I glad to see you!"

She wouldn't bother to look at the license plates. The poor guy was getting all sorts of grief and he was totally innocent.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor.
