West coast contributor to The Garage Aaron Von Minden has a sweet new toy. This 49 Mercury is a solid, rust free beast that is all original. It even has the original flathead. Watch The Garage over the next few months as this project progresses, as Aaron has big plans in store.
More pics after the break
My father had two 49 Mercs when I was a teenager. Both ran extreamly well but one was more of a parts car while the other was fully restored. One was a two door and the other had the four doors with the two rears being the traditional suicide doors like the one in the photo. Some years later my father let my sister use them which led to my nephew driving them and now it would be fun to know where they are.
