Danbury Mint's LIMITED EDITION 1949 MERCURY CONVERTIBLE sales brochure arrived in my mailbox on April 28, 2004.  I picked up the phone, placed my order and this beautiful replica was on my car shelves on July 5, 2004.  It's been one of my favorites ever since!

REAL '49 MERCURY CONVERTIBLE FACTS:

The car rode on a 118-inch wheelbase and sported the optional fender skirts, which were ordered by most buyers.  It weighed in at 3,591 pounds and sold $2,409.  A total of 7,586 convertibles were built for the 1949 model year.

Where did the time go?

Nice model, not sure why I passed on it. Good job on the facts.
