Driving a car of any time and condition, a wonderful experience of emotion and freedom.
I had a 1921 Cunningham roadster. I appreciate what you said about your Mercer.
WHat a beautiful car, my dream vintage car is the 35R. I'm sure I'm not alone.
Absolutely fabulous car, almost as much fun as a Rajo T ;P
This style of Mercer looks very much like the same model they made miniatures for, to use as Mr. Toad of Toad Hall's green motorcar,
"Toad 1 "
from Cosgrove Hall's stop motion animated film version of
"The Wind in the Willows."
Henry, did you live in Nissequogue area?
What did it sell for I wonder. No idea really. More or less than a million? You can get killer stuff for less if anything is killer to this. Same same but different I think. Portola, Stoddard, Simplex. Groovie stuff. Thanks you from a fellow junker person, hahahah.
sold for 2,530,000 at Monterey in 2014
Originally it was $ 2250
