2012 - Slide Show
A couple of cool Mercury Cars from Southern California.

The Mercury car model has been around since 1939 and was introduced as a mid range priced vehicle by Edsel Ford.
Cars built between 1949 and 1951, would in later years prove to be very popular amongst the Hot Rod Car Enthusiasts. They would reshape the steel to produce cars that would set a new standard for Customized Vehicles.
Early model Mercury cars of 1949 to 1951 had a 90 degree V type, "L" head 8 cylinder engine with a displacement of 255.4 cubic inches. These engines put out 112 horsepower at 3600 R.P.M. Later model cars of 1955 replaced the "L" engine with the "Y" block V-8 producing between 188 and 198 horsepower dependent on the engine type for that year.
This slide show is a part of a series of pictures of cars from different car shows that I've attended here in Southern California U.S.A.
