Last but not least is a Hot Rod version of the Mercury in black with blazing yellow and red masking working from the bonnet halfway along the length of the car. Registered 800 581 from Indiana, the car features silver wheels with red rims and brown interior seating. The Mercury badge sits prominently along the front edge of the bonnet and above the rear number plate.

The varied and colourful versions of the 1949 Mercury in this celebratory set make it a worthy gift for any collector of American Classic cars of the post-war period, not forgetting yourself, of course.
