In August of last year I purchased a 1956 Mercury off Craigslist from a man who was selling it for his father. They lived in western Kentuckey, since it was off the beaten path, it took a week or so to have it shipped here.
The car has a 79 thunderbird 302 engine with a 2 barrel autolite carb and a automatic overdrive transmission, the car is solid but needs updating, interior, paint and running gear.
