Classic Car Marketing, Inc. Southern California's premier marketing company is pleased to introduce this special custom creation by one of our clients. This 1951 over the top custom Merc was built by Rick Dore, four time Hot Rod Hall of Fame Member, as his personal car and was built to be driven. With modern chassis and drive train, this Merc coupe has been chopped, smoothed, shaved, and the body was nosed, decked, and unique hood vents with chrome spears were added. The trim was removed, and a set of hand-formed and flared fender skirts were fabricated, then flush-fitted. The floating grille bar is a one off creation, and those subtly peaked headlights are reminiscent of 56 Olds units, with the front fenders extended to accommodate them. The rear fenders were lengthened to enclose hand formed, lucite taillights, making the car appear a mile long to give it that look. Smoothed bumpers, created from Cadillac components, with 53 Cadillac bumperettes, are devoid of any disruptions. All the bodywork was accomplished in metal and appears flawless. The iridescent lavender pearl finish by the legendary Art Himsl fades subtly from top to bottom and subtle ghost flames enhance the look. Inside, the custom seats are trimmed in soft white pearl leatherette, complemented by a unique console that flows in a continuous line from the dash back to the rear package tray. Mounted on a modified 1980 Buick chassis, with GM tilt column and AirRide adjustable suspension, which instantly modernizes the car, improving its braking capability, and providing a smooth, reliable platform. Under the hood is a reliable 350 cubic inch Chevrolet V8, linked to a 350 Turbo-Hydromantic transmission. Billet Colorado Custom rims come with the car in addition to the hand made 40 Ford steering wheel, and "BAD MERC" license plate. Winner of multiple awards, this custom is built to be driven and is offered at just a fraction of the build cost. This is truly one of the finest Mercs in the market today.
