    1949 was a year that saw some truly great looking cars , and this is one of the best ...so many Mercs were customised - interesting in their way - but to my mind the original look is unbeatable .

    My mother had one like this, only yellow, in 1949 A wedding present from my father. She was caught in the rain one time and couldn't get the top up and the interior was flooded, and she was soaked, when she got home. She told my father no more convertibles for her. :) (I came along a few months later). I've always admired the design of the Mercury's and Lincolns of that era.

    Beautiful car and I was really interested in the stuff he was trying to say about the car but you wouldn't let him talk you just would keep interrupting him while he was trying to tell you facts about it and please don't take it the wrong way I am not trying to be rude but I love cars and love to learn everything about them not just look at them but great video thank you

      Hi Andrew Kreds, I'm not taking it the wrong way, and actually you're right. Challenge I'm seeing and learning from is to slow down. I get so excited around the cars sometimes I'm not completely focused. This is one of my earlier videos, and here's one I've done last week, please share with me if you see a difference, enjoy, Lou th-cam.com/video/anoHn5Emk2I/w-d-xo.html

      Lou: Well no, actually in 1964 we moved 100 miles to another city and my mom had to stop at every gas station to put water in the radiator! We did keep the car about another year though. It was our second car, the other car was a 1952 Chevrolet Bel Air.

    WHATS AMAZING IF YOU PULLED A 1949 HUDSON CONVERTIBLE NEXT TO THIS IT WOULD LOOK ALMOST ALIKE. AND MERCURY SOLD 16,765 UNITS AT $2410 AND HUDSON WHICH MADE 3 VERSION FOR 1949 SOLD A PALTRY 3125 UNITS FROM$2799-$3041.YES THE HUDSON WAS MORE EXPENSIVE BUT ITS SIX HAD 121 HP AND MERCURY HAD JUST 110HP. AND THE WHOLE WORLD CUSTOMIZED THE MERCURY. AND HUDSON RACED ITS HORNET SIX ON THE TRACK AND WON BIG TIME. NO MERCURYS WHERE ANY WHERE AROUND THE TRACK THEN .
