This car is not mine and I have no stake in the sale

Look close at the horn ring center. Ford interchangeability!

 

Reproduction brake pedal pads are available. Seller ought to invest in one.

 

Nice looking car. Mercury had it going on in 62.

It is a good looking car. It would be nice to know if the engine is the 221 or the 260.

On 3/28, Seller reduced price to $12,000

 

 

 

...and the seller is asking $15,000. for this?

Maybe it's the California black plate premium?

Either will have to find the right buyer. We like them, sure, but the masses aren't exactly beating down the doors for a 56 Lincoln or a 62 Meteor.

I'd love to have that Mercury. The photos are a little odd, though. Car is in focus but background and even foreground aren't. Looks photoshop-y.

An experienced photographer with the right camera can play with the depth-of-field to achieve what I simply call "selective focus."  Example below.  I think that's part of what we're seeing.  The secondary question is, is the car really that shiny - or - did someone use the new AI (artificial intelligence) image manipulation software to enhance the car's look?   One can only answer that question by examining in person - unless the Seller will give you some unadulterated simple cell phone pics.

What's next for AI? Take a selfie and have it change your grubby sweats to designer threads? How about trim and style your hair like a movie star's? Maybe change your features subtly to make you appear more attractive or even of a different race? 

Honesty sadly seems to be taking reality by the hand and leaving the building.
