No photos, just a 2"x2" add with only the statement that I posted. No idea of what periodical it was in.

I was going thru years of envelopes of saved automotive clippings today and found one ad that said, "50 Mercury with removable post, 1 of 57". Nothing more about it being a custom Merc so I wondered it was some factory special. I'd forgotten the clipping and have never heard of a car like this...

I have a 39 banjo steering wheel that I would like to put on my 38 column. Will the 38 horn button/rod work with the 39 banjo? Thanks

Decades old project. Traded a low mileage one owner 37 Chevy even-up sight unseen for this pickup because I thought it would make a better hot rod. Moved away from home, got married, had children, went to bonneville with my son in 2005 and decided to start working on the pickup. Other projects...
