Re: Mercury History
With demise of the Mercury brand, if you crystal ball the thing, do you all see the value and demand of Mercury's increasing over time?

Hi all:
What is the engine color for the '58 Mercury, 383 cubic inch. Got some rough spots on one piece and want to paint to match original orange/red color.
