1956 Mercury Montclair "magazine" car with tasteful resto mod features.
VIN #56SL104935MDefinitely One-Of-A-Kind with a featured article and cover on Ol' Skool Rodz Magazine Mar: 2017! Many "trick" custom changes! Must see to fully appreciate-A real show stopper!"I don't think a finer esthetically appealing '56 exists in the world. I have searched many classic sites and many shows for 10 years and have found noting as nice. When I completed the car 4 years ago I sent pictures to Goodguy's one week before the event and they invited me into the indoor pavilion, which sells out a year in advance.While at the Goodguy's Pavillon, the winner of best car in the country, with a $1ml resto of a '55 Chevy, told the owner of Pomona Hot Rod Show the best car at Goodguy's was my Merc! The owner came over and invited me to Pomona Show 2014 Pavilion 5. (Mild Customs) Out of 20 maxed out "frame off" 6 figure resto Show Cars, my "driver" took 4th-1.
