You can have all the '49-50 Mercs in the world because with '50 Lincoln customs being built like Les Hilgers, them ol' Mercs don't stand a chance. Les covered the Lincoln steel in gold metalflake before lowering the car over capped and whitewall wrapped steelies. A 351ci Windsor engine provides the go, shifted by a C4 trans. With our cutoff date moved well into the '60s now, it was an obvious choice to go with Les' '50s-style custom Lincoln for a Top 100 honor.
