This Mercury hood ornament is the first time I've noticed the head of the god Mercury as a hood ornament... cool! Looks like a transformer though

Mercury, the maker of higher grade Ford models with waterfall grilles such as the Milan and Grande Marquis, will have the same fate of GM's Pontiac and Saturn brands, according to a report from Bloomberg citing two unnamed people familiar with the plan.

The news agency said that Ford Motor Co executives could ask the automaker's board of directors as early as July to green-lit the (eventual) axing of the Mercury brand.

To the right of the bottle opener (cool thing to have on the dash) is Jimmy Shine's autograph

Nice Plymouth custom! It's gonna be great when it's got one color

The ashtray for the back seat passengers.. yeah, obsolete as the choke lever, I know

I like the contrast of the 60's headlights and fender vs. the 08. Why do they continue to carry on a name when the next generation has no resemblence to the original? The only common factor I can think of is that they both have 4 tires.
