One Super Cruiser! - James Pullen

I just received an e-mail from another mercury owner.  James Pullen, lives in Florida and was kind enough to send me a few pictures of his 1951 Mercury Convertible. I just love the Merc's!!!! Check out the '79 Pontiac sub- frame (with Heidt's narrowed control arms - to pull the wheels in) and the '56 Chrysler 354ci Hemi that he added. He also indicated that he had installed a 700r4 transmission, backed up by a 9 inch rear end.
