Saw this on e-bay. I thought it drew an interesting comparison to the Hudson.

That roofline looks much too high.

Side-by-side comparison - That Merc, vs. Bill's '49 that is for sale...

IMO - Regardless of paint job, condition, etc., there is NO contest... Just look at those lines - Hudson wins, hands down!

(And Bill's price is $1,000 less than the BIN than the Mercury on eBay...).

Man those Merc nuts shure go through a lot of cash, effort and needless time to make those old slugs look like a Hud don't they?

Remarkable how much many Ford products look like Hudson frrom 1939-'51
