Sorry for the above post Scott. I like your Mercury, I have always wondered how that snapper looked built. Fine work.

Not sure this is the correct color if this to represent a new car. From what I have found 58 is the first year for the Blue cars. They were all Black with a gold strip before that.

Did you experience the Blizzard of '78?
1930fordpickup replied to Jon Cole's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
The Blizzard of 78 was very hard here. We got rain followed by snow and High Winds. The two big storm meet here. It was a mess. Dads fairly new barn was 14 foot at the top ( a flat roof Butler)and the drift went up to almost the top. Made a great place to tunnel. I was only 12 so I got to play after the power came back on. After the Phone came back on we found out we got a new cousin in the middle of all of it. I still tell her she has always been trouble. -
Looks good to me Eric.

Very nice

No fan shroud to pull air around the engine to cool it. I would have done the same thing if I ever got around to doing my corvair powered buggy.

Rick is that 71 Charger a pre painted body? I am thinking I have seen that mentioned hear before.

Rob this is a good looking Car. I like the wheels not being chrome better. I will get my pictures up as soon as I dig out the Hudson. Until then it will not be official.

What happened to automotive "journalism", rant ahead
1930fordpickup replied to Aaronw's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
You are correct but these are pull outs in the center of the magazine. No other place in a magazine works. Yes I know about centerfolds I had them in my locker at school until a teacher has a good look. Mostly because it was not locked and other kids kept opening it up. LOL -

So I am not the only one that wonder about this also. Funny how when a rusty example turns up on car auction sites people get all crazy about them. New one old one they look the same to me, just like the Model T and the Beetle. None of the above are bad cars just always had the same look. -

Several years ago my uncle was telling us why he dropped his subscription to these magazines. He was talking about how they were complaining the Lincoln Town Car had to soft of a ride. He is a Chevy fan but he was so dumbfounded that a car magazine Journalist had no idea that a Town Car was not a sports car. We all got a good chuckle about it. The biggest no no in journalism I learned in high school working on the yearbook. You never place a photo across the fold in a book or magazine because it will be distorted by the fold. Yet time and time again every car magazine I read does it almost every month. So what do they teach in college? -
How big is this? I guess I should ask what scale. I looked and found out. Cool kit.

I went and looked at the moved post and read it. A very nice car. I like it I am a Ford Guy. Your comment in your post makes me thing it is now in the right place. Dennis take no offense from me or the mod's as they do a good job here for us, it is just our opinion. Not a big deal we have all had things moved here and there.
