West Peterson Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It's possible that it's a Mercury body, but it doesn't look like a 1925 Chevrolet.Can you upload a larger image??? WAY too small to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted this in a Brazilian blog and they think its a 1925 Chevrolet speedster.. but I think its car is bigger.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The headlights look like a 490 Chevy but that's all. The Chevy is squattier and doesn't have those cowl lights this is about 1920. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yes a bigger picture would help. I think the car has been modified so much that we can't indentify it from 'standard' features of regular cars. It looks to have the small hub caps that Chev used.

Guest Fernando Talalarga Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Sorry I really try to send again the picture but it have 4.4m.. I hope this helps: http://antigosverdeamarelo.blogspot.com.br/2012/04/chevrolet-speedster-1925.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 That is a better picture. Yes looks to be a 1925 Chevrolet, though fitted with earlier head lights. Can't comment on the body though. Whether it is a genuine Mercury I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I hope you don't mind me moving the pic to this page, It's easier to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I finally had time to sort through my old photos and find this speedster I photographed at a VCCA show a few years ago. It is a 1926 and I think it is a Mercury body. The wheels and fenders on the old photo above look older than 1925 to me. I would say it's an early 1920's Chevrolet with a 1925-26 radiator shell and a Mercury body. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfaTazio Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Fellas,I thought I would weigh in a bit, to my eyes, this is a 1925-26 Chevy Superior roadster, and it does not have a Mercury body. A Mercury Sportabout body would have had a single passenger door, fittings for a canvas top, a different windshield frame and tell-tale air vents on at least the side for ventilation. In this case, someone has altered the stock windscreen and made up different panels from the original cowl back. I think its a 1925 due to the early thin round headlamp bar I think i am seeing, and then, there are what look like Model T headlamps....eeekkkk... Still, a very sporting looking car.Hats off to Don above, he really has taken the two best photos of Pinky Randall's restored Mercury bodied car on a Superior Chassis, circa 1926, along with a 1928 center dash assembly....GM now owns this particular car. But Don's photos show the car at its best. I had people in my office reacting v. positively to them.Ciao,Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Thanks for the photos of the Pinky Randal Mercury Speedster. Has anyone ever posted side by side photos of a Ford and Chevrolet MERCURY body? The tail on the Chevy looks longer and flat on the back. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
