There was one of those Fiats in the Great Race last year. It was cute but couldn't maintain 50 mph if there was any kind of hill. LOL

The front end of this Mercury is from 1949. 1950 Mercury had different (much larger) parking lamps.

Yeah, the seller is living in his own universe I fear. It's good that it appears to be complete, even has its rear engine, but is so specialized to snow removal that it likely won't draw a great amount of interest. It's unusual to have them show up in Illinois, much less in southern Illinois. Might have done military or airport duty. Should be extremely low mileage, edit - clock says 02349 miles - probably right. Stu

If it worked well I would have paid that much for it at my home in Colorado mountains.

Years ago I thought there was a sno go right up the road from me, turns out it was just a regular 48-50 with a snow blower for a tractor right in front of it. I was a little disappointed.

WOW HAVI..THAT FIRST PIC (KFC) IS REMINISCENT OF THE TRUCK MY DAD DROVE TO DELIVER BREAD BACK IN THE EARLY 50's.
I LOVED RIDING AND HELPING HIM WHEN I WASN'T IN SCHOOL.
DO YOU YOU THINK THAT TRUCK IS AVAILABLE?

There was a Jordan Playboy in the late '20s to early '30s.
