My 1960 Mercury M100
Finally brought her home last Wednesday. I can't wait to start tearing it apart.

My iPhone's camera lens is pretty scratched up so the photos are crap. Will have better ones soon.

Nice find StatikPulse, where did you discover it? It looks like it is still driveable.
And welcome to the forum.

Thanks guys. Found it in a small town about 2 hours away from Ottawa. The guy I bought it from got it from a farmer about 5 years ago who was driving it daily at the time. It's been sitting ever since so it'll need some work to get her up and running again.

Wow, nice snag there! I've seen a few of these at car shows... They have a lot of potential IMHO. It looks like this one needs much less work than most. Keep the pictures coming!

Nice Fridge. It shouldn't get away from you with those blocks! The seat looks great. Cool to see the radio as well.
