Marty Roth Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Loved driving my black '54 Mercury convertible, even with Merc-O-Matic- bought it from the back row of a St. George Ave used car lot in Elizabeth, NJ in April of 1961, and cleaned several coffee can loads of sludge from the valley due to clogged oil return passages - common on this first-year Mercury V-8 (infrequent oil changes?). After a valve job and new rear main seal it was a blast to drive all summer in the Catskills, working only 6 nights/week with my band at a resort hotel. It was sold in September before my sophomore year at Univ of Kentucky, but oh, what a summer, and oh, those young ladies who chose to ride along in the shiny black convertible.

63RedBrier Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I guess we'll all find out the true value when the bidding ends... The color combo really appeals to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Already at 5100. first day in. I would assume the reserve is somewhere between 8 and 9. I think he'll get his asking price or maybe a tad more at auction, especially once the reserve is met. People are more serious about bidding when they know the next bid will make it theirs if no one else bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
