1956 Mercury Montclair

When I started this site in August of 2009, I setup some rules about where I would source the photos from. The stated policy I came up with is that I would not snap photos at car shows or similar gatherings. To me it was too much like shooting fish in a barrel. Also, I stipulated that I would shoot photos of rare cars regardless of the condition and update those cars in bad shape and replace them with better examples as they came along. I have not yet gotten one in of these in better shape yet but I have included the photo below as a reference.

This particular car/home has been parked around the San Francisco Best Buy for about ten years. I have no idea why all the duct tape but I guess it was waterproofing. Perhaps I’ll see one in the near future. Also, I saw this post on Pinterest  that was my inspiration for posting this Mercury now.
