When the hot rodding scene was beginning to solidify in the ‘50s, the Fords and Mercurys were plentiful, easy to work on and easy to soup up. Such as this convertible that has been carefully crafted into a top-shelf show piece at a cost in excess of $100,000. While the red exterior appears largely stock, apart from the Cadillac wheel covers and spotlights, the interior has been completely refashioned with modern sculpted door panels and materials. Under the hood is the greatest surprise with a Jack Roush-built V-8 that produces 530 horsepower. With a larger displacement motor putting out more ponies than a contemporary Ford, this Mercury is perfect for anyone that wants to get in and enjoy a long, comfortable ride in retro style.
