If this doesn't create a misty eye or two out there, I'll be surprised.

My Father bought ONE new. It was Tan. A semi hit him in the rear and the car was totalled.

I bought a used 57 210 late in 57 with the V8 (was a 6 cyl still available?). Crossed the states several times, Good car but by today's standards it would be a dog. Traded it for a 59 Volvo PV544.

The parents of my high school girlfriend had a Chevy they used to let me and her use from time to time . We made some real memories at the Drive In, in that car .

That's a good looking Mercury, Ron. I got my '56 black & white Monclair convertible in late '57 and my Dad owned a service station.:laughing: That gold colored block & intake manifold with blue air filter housing and valve covers sure were pretty. Dad got annoyed at me for spending too much time cleaning and polishing my own car instead of customers'.:laughing:
