1949 Mercury Custom Wagon

[Exotics_Builder]

Calling it done.  Just some quick shots as I won't set up the photo booth until later this month.  Again, period custom per a club challenge, meaning nothing could be done to it that wasn't 1964 or earlier.  Got the resin body some years back at the DuPage County Toy Show.  Given the body, it would have "poppers" for the doors.  Trying to figure out the gas cap door, I decided that it would be in the trunk (ala some European sports cars).  Did drill for a frenched antenna and frenched the taillights with 59 Caddy lamps.  

I am sure our club Adjudicator of All Classic Automotive Genres (Dave Fletcher) will find somethings I incorrectly did.  But it is not a type that I have a big interest in and needed to do a lot of research

Cool wagon.  Good paint job.  Nice idea using the custom interior from the custom coupe.  I might use that for my custom Mercury wagon build.

Well done!

Beautiful custom Gerry! Nice color, and is that a "flamethrower" set up in the tailpipe?.... Nice addition!

Yes it is.  Last minute idea.
