[Closed] New Merc in town....(PICS)

New Merc in town....(PICS)photo no longer availablephoto no longer availableThe 1946 Mercury shown here just arrived in my collection, purchased from a longtime friend and fellow collector. The model is 1/25 scale resin model, #2 of 10 made by Steve Amos in about 1980. This model has just incredible detail and has sure held up well over its 30 years. Its "curbside" with no opening features, but I'm sure not complaining. I'm really pleased to have this model in my collection, especially as my brother owns a 1948 Mercury Coupe and has owned it since 1954. Unlike the model shown here, my brothers Merc has been hot-rodded with a 1955 Chevy V8, chrome reversed wheels, louvered hood with scallops, and naugahyde interior. Its just as it was in 1957, a real time machine hot rod. The Radiator Springs background was"donated" by my grandkids, a box inner base from a Mattel CARS toy.
