| This beautiful 1955 Mercury is owned by Lee Hunsberger who lives not far from us in the Keystone state. I see this car often at shows in the area, but have not had the opportunity to talk to him about it. I hope to find out more info on this car real soon, but for now all I can say is that it is powered by an FE with webers and MSD ignition. It sounds "Bad Ass." |
