New Is Not Always Best
July 18th, 2010
There it was, in the middle of a field. We saw it from the road and almost passed it by. We immediately went to the old farmhouse and talked to the farmer about it. He was asking 300.00. Did he know what he had? Now it was ours. It was a 1953 Mercury Monterrey, 312 flat head, with a 6-cylinder engine, and a 3-speed stick. It still had all the original equipment. No chrome. The trim was all nickel-plated. Getting it to look like new again was going to be fun. To find places that could help us we went to classiccarrestoration.
