Nothing changes. Remember the chopped and channeled bathtub Mercs that
high centered on a cigarette butt?

Then there are the hoppers:

I remember the Mercs. Wish I had the skills to build one. The 50's and
60's were the golden age of custom cars.

I worked in Ft. Wayne for a while. Indiana is big on car stuff since
there isn't a whole lot of outdoor recreation opportunities. Fairmount
was James Dean's boyhood home and is where he is buried so they have a
James Dean Festival every year. The Mercs roll in from all over.

It wasn't a custom, but my soft spot is the '51 Ford from 'Thunder
Road'. There is a nice one around town with the appropriate vanity plate.
