I like these! But every time I see one, I remember in the mid-1950s watching a woody Chrysler sedan literally rot away. I saw it rather often in our small town, for I never knew the owner. Looking back, the car was only six or seven years old, but it was eaten up with something and the wood was literally turning into sawdust.

All 3 colors contrast well; I like cream, dove grey and green in order.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Merc has those articulated tail lights so they can be seen when the tailgate is down. Quite an innovative feature for 1951.
