Mercer Raceabout truck

[Brian Austin]

At least one Mercer Raceabout was converted to a truck.  The first two pages are photocopied from an old book on car restoration.  The second article I recently found posted on Facebook.   Interestingly, it is the very same car.  These sources, randomly found decades apart, show the complete restoration back to original configuration of the car once owned by none other than Buster Keaton!  Now I'd like to find more pictures of its truck form.

Wow!

I never knew about this one. What a Cool Story.

I wonder where it is now.

I wasn't even aware this car had belonged to Buster Keaton until I saw a video clip on Facebook from a Keaton film showing himself at the wheel of a Model T while another character pulls up next to him in a sporty car, what turned out to be his Mercer.  The discussion in the comment section was fascinating.
