PICs - Sharing My Collection - '56 Mercury
I have been going through some old photos that were never processed or posted. Here's one with an alternative view of Sunstar's 1956 Mercury Montclair

My very first car [PIC]
One slight difference it was Carousel Red instead of the Persimmon.

That's just a great looking model of a great looking car! Sadly, missing from my collection, though.

The dent [PIC]
All summer I spent nosing the car, filling in the removed scripts and some other minor Bondo applications. I repainted it, compounded it out and polished it up. All this for my first day at college. I drove up early, got a dynamite parking space and strutted my stuff. Making a grand exit, the choke stuck on me, the car lurched forward and what you see there is what the left rear bumper of the car in front of me did, creasing the damned quarter panel.
The day ended in total humiliation.
Oh yeah. I had the skirts and the full wheel covers but I left the in the garage, painted the wheels black and popped on Baby Moons.
September 1964, and a day that will live in infamy.

HA! That's what you get for showing off Rich. Ironically, I have a similar story.
