Bucky Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 This is a great looking Merc!! Looks long and low! Perfect color for a cruise around a Florida beach! I'd certainly drive it!!

Rodent Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Doing a 66 Chevy PU in the same color. I had never discovered it until now, but it is a great color. Looks fantastic on the Mercury.
