This is the 1955 Mercury D-528 experimental car that was never in an actual car show, just used internally at Ford.  Too cool to pass up.  I ordered the copper and black version.

I somehow double posted the red version and can't seem to delete it.

 

Here's an interesting video on the history of the car from the Peterson Museum:

What a great-looking Mercury/Ford dream car and replica of it ! I never realized the D-528 was just used as an internal idea automobile
