I thought you'd like a look at this custom 1950 Mercury Coupe custom show car. This Mercury underwent a complete and professional restoration in 2008 and has only been driven 2,000 miles since. It is covered in Chrysler Cool Vanilla paint that gives it a classic look. Complementing the paint is just enough chrome to set this car off - chromed bumpers, mirrors, twin spotlights, headlight rings, Laker pipes, and a customized '54 Chevy grill with extra teeth. The entire interior is covered in bright red, including the carpet, headliner, dash, and Ultra Leather seats. Custom touches to the outside include a 2 1/2" chopped top, shaved door handles, electric and manual emergency access to the doors, electric trunk lid, and '59 Cadillac tail lights. Under the hood is a 5.7L LT1 V8 engine borrowed from a Corvette and a new automatic GM transmission. Other features include AM/FM/CD radio, Vintage Air, Fat Man suspension, rear air bags to adjust the ride height, a new radiator with a self-contained fan system, built in battery charger, rack and pinion power steering, power brakes, power seats, power door locks, power windows, tilt steering wheel, seat belts, wide white wall radial tires, and 15" wheels with Dodge Lancer hub caps. Hope you find it interesting...thanks for checking it out!

Instruments: Guitar, Bass, Kit, Organ, EP
Tempo: 90
With a jumping bass and off-beat syncopation, this is straight from Memphis' Beale Street. The Hammond organ and electric guitar play together as longtime friends, while the melody changes hands from guitar to organ to electric piano. 011
