....it's being manufactured by Goldvarg as we speak. This 1968 Mercury Park Lane Brougham looks great, but I don't understand that Lincoln hood ornament.
Did GV chose to replicate a 1:1 car in which the owner attached a Lincoln hood ornament? 🤔 🤔 I didn't think Mercury even offered a "stand-up" ornament for '68. 🤨 🤨
I assume production models will not suffer negative camber. 😏 😏 Jack Lord would be proud! I love this one; it will probably sell out quickly.

I’m hoping to pair this with the 1960 Mercury Montclair/Park Lane that’s on the way!

Gotta have the Hawaii 5-0 version of this Merc for sure.

The Five-O version had a small hood ornament!
Book 'em, Danno!

@karl That was Steve's 1974 Mercury, his 1968 4-door Mercury never had a hood ornament.... neither did his '68 2-door (that was mistakenly used occasionally in long shots ).
- Furthermore, GV used a Lincoln hood ornament.... Why? 🤔 🤔

Sergio said on Facebook at announcement that there will be no hood ornament. This is a prototype.
