for my liking. So, I've done some edits just to see what they looked like.
As found:
Sectioned above the beltline to improve the profile:
Un-sectioned with less top chop and removed the "B" pillar:
Same as above with mild dechroming:
Sectioned again:
Sectioned with less top chop than the original:
Please share if any of the edits are more appealing to you.
Enjoy!

The last pic is my favorite. I don't like too much chop.

I'll pass on all of them. Just give a '49 Mercury in original form please.

Terry, I simply LOVE these styling 'exercises' you present us. And you make it SO thorough that it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between one and another.
I feel like I'm at the optometrist's office - Is 2 better, or worse? HA!
After going back and forth I am enthralled by #6, the last one. You got it perfect!

@georgeschire: Ask, and ye shall receive!
George, I've decided to provide a '49 Mercury coupe in stock appearing condition. Given the wheels and stance, I suspect that the power plant may have been breathed on a bit. Nonetheless, Enjoy!

@tldaly I agree with Tony. I like the comparisons. But what I really like is watching you hone your capabilities. Thanks for sharing them with us!

@jkuvakas: Thanks, John. Over the past several months I've gotten better at fabricating various details on the bodies, trim and wheels. I've also gotten much more capable at paint blending. I appreciate your noticing and commenting on the edits.

I share John's sentiments Terry. Your postings remind us just what an art form the custom car evolution was....and still is.
