Always great videos John. New Mercurys were undoubtedly in showrooms in late 1938, but 1939 was the first year for Mercury. In fact, years ago when I was actively pursuing collector cars, I met a guy who owned the 20th Mercury to ever roll off the production line. Supposedly, it was once owned by Don Garlits.

A fine look at these two Mercury beauties from Goldvarg, John. They really stand out on the turntable and their realism is astonishing.

Another great and informative clip JK; thank you. Btw, my curiosity is piqued by the car situated at your left hand as the clip concludes....is that a '62 Olds?

It looked like the silver side band was fairly wide but maybe its just a reflection or distortion. The aqua/white suggested it was perhaps the '64 Impala.
