I love this car. Found it in the Bouldin Neighborhood on S. 1st St.
(Its owner, Thomas Jerome Newton, spotted his car on my FB ATXcarPICS page. He says he is thinking of repainting and an interior. Great car, Thomas!)
At this trip to Home Depot, this was the oldest, and coolest, thing there. Kris bought the finished car from a S. Texas fellow. Powered by a 318 Mopar V8. This car looks even better the closer you get to it. Love the stance, the rarity, the paint and the Cragars.
This most desirable 1950 Mercury Coupe retains it’s flathead V8 but has vintage performance parts on it. An absolute treasure, one of my favorite Austin cars. Mercury Charlie has since moved to SW Austin.
I took this cool project in SW Austin at a shared facility occupied by the late Bill Collings and Mercury Charlie — I believe it was Bill’s project. It’s the only car I’ve seen in a hot rod garage on barrels like this. The red sign and the red wheels make it a favorite image of mine. Mercury Charlie has move since to a nearby location.
