1949 Custom Mercury at Mercury Charlie’s Hot Rod Shop

Written by Ken Altes

This car is a build for a customer that supplied the chopped 1949 Mercury.  Mercury Charlie’s staff upgraded it in only two months.  Powered by a multi-carb Chevy 350 V8 and adorned with a 1953 Desoto grille.  Another extraordinary accomplishment by Mercury Charlie.  These guys are for real, Charlie has been doing this for four plus decades.
