Beautiful cars. You do great work.

Two fuel tank reproducers in the internet list a tank that fits a 1933 or 1934 Dodge or Plymouth, coupe or sedan and state 14.5 gal.

misterc9, So, this Mercury has the optional 3" brakes, but they were offered for the front only ? The front brake drums are the 5X5 bolt pattern and the rear is 5X4.5 ? Or does this car have 3" brakes all around ?

My dad (b. 1915, d.2013) with his 1941 Nash and in his USMC uniform during WWII. The best dad a son could have.

future, i received an email from Kanter Auto Products in Boonton, NJ. I thought about looking for 3" wide drums for your car as they had an advertisement for brake parts. Yes, they do offer a 3" wide drum for your car. But, you should contact them to make sure the drum has five studs on a 5" bolt circle.

NAPA Auto Parts shows brake shoes in the 2 1/2" and 3" widths for a 1959 Mercury Monterey, but only drums in the 2 1/2" width.

future, I looked on Mac's Antique Auto Parts website and they show two different brake shoes; one is 11 1/32" by 2 1/2" wide and the other is 11 1/32" by 3" wide. This makes me wonder if you have a "police" or "taxi" or "heavy duty" brake option on your Mercury. Or is your Mercury a station wagon ?

Carlton, NAPA has (among others) Autolite #295 - non-resistor plugs or #306 - resistor plugs. I have used both of these in my car with no problems. I'm pretty sure these and other brands are available at most auto parts stores.

Carlton, Beautiful car. It is just stunning !!!!

Not my favorite (favourite). I lean towards medium-dark blue or medium-dark green. This car appears to be a good buy.

Looks great, Rich !!!

Beautiful car, Keith. You have really made this car into a nice driver. Don't forget to post photos when you are out and about.

Maybe Len has his wife keep curlers in her hair when they go for a drive !!!

Roy, I have seen these painted two different ways (if painted), but I think your item is correct for a 1951 or 1952 Plymouth Cambridge or Concord model. Photos show the caps on 1951 Concords.

Pete, This is as close as I could come to a match...1939 Lincoln Zephyr front center bumper guard.

What is that draped over the steering wheel ? Looks to be leather-like....

Have you checked with AMS Obsolete in Georgia ?

Fantastic job !!! This is a real beauty.

Very nice machine work you are doing.

Narve, I did a part number search at AMS Obsolete & it states that they have your horn relay #853750. You will need to contact them (go to their website and send them an email) to request a price quote.

Narve, Andy Bernbaum has the left hand lug bolts.

Marty, I think I can narrow it down to a 1951 or 1952 Plymouth.

1962 or 1963 Chevrolet Impala ? 1962 shown.

My dad also had a 1950 Statesman four door. He bought it new. All the gauges were on a pod attached to the steering column. I was not a big fan of the design, especially the skirted front wheels.

Looking good, Martin....
