After my Father returned from the Korean war he and his buddy ,who worked with Dad bought identical 49 ford convertibles. They were so identical the keys would start both cars. My first choice is a Ford convertible like this diecast that is close to what his looked like. This is one of the few Cadillacs I would ever chose, followed by this Plymouth convertible.

@sizedoesmatter Once again I agree with you John. Mercurys from that era are just hard to beat.

Hudsons came close. Mercurys '49 to '56 & Hudsons '48 to '54, love both.
