Greetings from NE Texas. I have been working on my 1952 Mercury Monterey for the past 3 months. So far I have rebuilt the tea-pot carb, rewired the entire car (Painless wiring harness), added power a brake booster, and replaced the vacuum hose with new. I got the vacuum wipers to work using the PB Blaster fix I read about on this forum. (Thanks for that!) Fixed 'some' of the rust... And made new panels in the trunk. The old girl runs really well. We call her Mertyle. I will try to attach a picture if I can figure out how this forum works. I'm sure I will have many questions to ask of the 'flathead gurus' here. Thanks for allowing me to join.

Welcome to the 'Barn! And you done really good figurin'-out the picture postin', too. We have several adults here that continually moan about how difficult it is to learn how to post pics on this site. I like that Merc!

Howdy from Indiana and welcome! That is a great looking Mercury, hope to hear more about it.
 
As others have said, Myrtle looks to be well preserved. Welcome aboard and,..... we love pictures.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome. The previous picture was from the day we bought the car. Since then... baby got a new pair of shoes. I like her better in white walls. :D

Thats a real nice 52. Great to see another one survived. Mine is just a four door sedan but a great driver. Had it out to a car show yesterday and the old teapot and mercomatic performed just fine in the 80 degree heat on a 20 mile drive.
