Does any one have or had one of these beauties? when I was in service I needed a car so my pal had a 1947 mercury coupe that had to be pulled to run. Took it to a Ford dealership after looking at this beautiful 49 maroon and started the 47 a block from the dealership, then drove it on the lot and left it running. The salesman said we could deal. After signing all the paper work and using the 47 as down payment, I was off to Nellis A.f.b.Las Vegas Nev. from Anderson Ind.Well I was chuckling about getting the better deal when along about Albuquerque NM, Noticed the heat gauge needle went to top end of the hot side. On a mountain top filling station, I bought a wrench .pulled the heads,looked down in side the cylinder walls, Yep Cracked. Both sides. ( 7 in all) total. Well I limped it to the base and into the hobby shop. As you all know, Military pay don't go far enough to buy a new short block. Story was. I got it back to Ind when I had enough leave time coming and traded it off on a 53 Chev 4 dr. I now know it doesn't pay to try and horn swaggle a salesman.

Two of my favorites was the 49 merk and the 1950 Hudson Hornet W/O.D.Remember em???? LOU

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books).
