Thought everyone might find the text of this email I just received interesting. I certainly did.



Hi!
Zach Merrill referred me to your website and I appreciated your adjective about the Super Marauder Air Filter Housing. I designed that in the summer of '57 for L-M Division, working through Bill Stroppe. I have one he gave me on a walnut trophy base; it's the earliest version with no name, and scallops on the rear to clear the wiper motor. I had worked at Dearborn for Ford Styling about four years prior but preferred to return to Southern California and wound up as Art Director, then Editor of ROD & Custom at Petersen Publishing. I also styled the fuel pump top/gas filter/distribtion block and the rocker covers with the M and fins that matched the filter housing. I've written a history of all this for The Quicksilver magazine and am gathering pix taken at the time.

You must feel very special getting praise from this gentleman.

By any chance, do you know what the air cleaner assembly looked like that was offered on the LINCOLN tri-power setup? I am missing this part of the history. And the magazine QUICKSILVER he referred to, where would one go to find a copy of that?

Again...CONGRATULATIONS!

Quicksilver is the club publication of IMOA, the International Mercury Owner's Assn. I am looking forward to Mr Wineland's article. It will probably answer a lot of questions we all have.
