Thread: 1950 Mercury Coupe (from the future)

1950 Mercury Coupe being built by Gary's Auto Collision Center in Southern California
Well a few years ago my uncle purchased this 50' Mercury Coupe from ebay with the mindset that he would transform it into the "Car of the Past From the Future"
This is how she looked when he went from SoCal all the way to Oregon to get her:





As soon as he got it back to SoCal he went to work on her
First step: Tear Down

Next Step: Goin' Hard in the Paint! (Part 1) The inside was painted in the candy apple red that the rest of the car is going to be painted in while the outside of the car got a base coat






Then Came the Assembling:

Even Our Beast has a Heart:



She Puts on A Black Dress and Some New Shoes: Chopped the top and painted her up

Going HAM in the Interior?: Custom made center console with a Full white leather interior with red trim



That joystick next to the driver isn't for a manual transmission, that's the mouse to operate that monitor in the center console

Another monitor in the back because, racecar

Since this car doesn't have side view mirrors or door handles it has little monitors on the door panels that show directly behind the car through little cameras that are molded into the side view mirror areas and a little button to open the doors

More coming soon! if you guys want to see the car in person you can drop by Gary's Auto Collision Center in Newhall, CA and get a look@

Mate, that thing looks the goods!

Planning on using it as a promo tool or just a sick show car?

Well my uncle (the owner) is planning to put it in a few movies and shows and then selling it off.

Thanks!

Needs new wheels. They do not fit the car at all.

I agree with the above...the wheels aren't fitting to the car. I think the stockers would look better than those.
