1949 Mercury

1:24 scale AMT kit

This is favorite among hot rodders. The shape of this car and it's sister ford sedan have been the inspiration for many custom low riders. One of the first popular post war automobiles. I had to build one. This was a pretty good kit but seemed a bit dated in the attention to detail. All in all it's one big round streamlined shape and I think that idea gets across rather clearly. This, like many other metallic painted cars, was a hard one to photograph because of the heavy metal flake throwing things out of realistic scale.
