This 1949 Mercury belongs to a good friend of mine, who we all know as Hillbilly. He has won a lot of trophies with this at car shows. Ain't she a beaut?

Thanks for the comments, friends.

This a real beaut Jim - my parents drove one of these when I was born in '51! My Dad loved that car. Thanks for the memory.

Jimbob - Tell Hillbilly that he has a sharp looking ride. You composed it nicely, being parked on a field, not on the street. Is that a police light on the strut? Thad

A great shot so nicely framed. I don't know one car from another. I find mine in the parking lot by the license plate. Well, not really that bad, but close.

Being a backward sort of hillbilly myself I commented on #2 first. Needless to say, I love this just as much. I just had to find another great version of the classic song.

A real beauty! Last time I saw a car like this one was in Istanbul 25 years ago. It was a cab.
