Hi Cruz,
Thats nice.
I have seen the one that the Phantom from Albury used to have. It had a chevy in it from memory
Also Bob Trevan up here in Lismore, who is a fanatical Ford Collector, told me that he had 2 46-48 Mercury utes at one stage in a wrecking yard, but they went to the crusher many years ago. Apparently they were very rusty.
There was a nice LHD coupe at Canungra recently, but there are not a lot of those era Mercury of any body style left as you say.
It will definitely be a standout tow vehicle.
JBJ

hi cruz that's a nice piece of blue oval you have there.  i've always loved the 46 mercs. as a matter if interest, when i was looking at your pics, our 2-1/2 year old grandson walked in and said "what that papa?" i told him it's a 46 mercury ute and he said "wow".  gotta get 'em thinking right when they're young.  geoff 'n jude |

Hi Cruz, That's one very nice tow car. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh in the not too distant future. I presume I will hear you coming? Don Ricardo |

Hi Graeme, Allmost a dead ringer. Wonder if it started life as a ute. ....Dead ringer eh?.....a little graveside humour, eh Leanne? ;D......most of the Hearses were based on Utes , probably because they were usually cheaper than Sedans ,but also because they came with the open drive gearbox and low ratio open drive diff , made it easy to extend the driveshaft ,unlike with the torque tube driveline on the regular cars..... |
