Here is a 1949 Mercury coupe in red as done in1/43 by Universal Hobbies many years ago. The 1949 Mercury was a great-looking automobile and makes for a terrific replica in any scale.

Always hard to pick a favorite from you, but I love the one in front of the Chicago townhouses!

Nice pics of a great car.  The '49 is my fave of that body style 3 year run.

And here is a black one which always reminded me of the car that James Dean drove in the movie Rebel Without a Cause with Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo, all of who died in early and untimely ways.

Your Photoshop skills are really excellent.  And, that's a really nice model.

Thank you, everyone. And Karl, I wonder if those Chicago townhouses are still there ? Grin

Great pictures all, but I think the '49 Mercury looks much better with fender skirts.

It's a great-looking automobile, so I like it either way, with or without fender skirts. Kind of like Continental kits, I feel a good car design can easily handle the existence or non-addition of the particular feature.
