Nice Merc, by the way it looks like a lot of signs are in english also. Is english commonly spoken in Finland?

Oh, sorry! I dont have too much money, but I have a place where I can rebuild old cars. It is my hobby.
I have only Mercurys and you can see my cars www.mercuryman.fi

I dont sell cars I only collect these beautiful Mercs.

I dont know much about this Chrysler but it was original Hemi and very rare.
Also the Galaxie from 1963 and half is original with 427 cid engine and bought it to Sweden when it was new, 1963 1/2.
I cant even remember the name of the owner..it was like Nils or something like that. But this man have a great collection of beautiful cars. Did you saw that Shelby? wow.....:beer:

Thanks for the picture of the Saab Sonnet, I had 13 of them, great cars with a Ford designed motor, V4, could not kill them. At one time 20 years ago my family had the most Saabs on the road daily in the USA, built like tanks.

Darn,did I see a Saab Sonnett and an Opel Rekord in those pics in #7?
Those guys riding them bikes must be as crazy as I was back in my youth,ha,now my arthritis and other aches and pains keeps me from doing that kind of stuff anymore.
You and your buddies have some nice cars,congrats on them,esspecially considering the difficulties you must have finding and obtaining parts and what import duties and shipping must cost.
If you or any of your friends get out to Chicago,IL USA around the last week of July please let me know and I'll take you to a car show where they shut down the entire downtown area for the week end and have over 8 or 9 HUNDRED various vehicles to check out!Be warned though,it is always extremely hot and humid that week end,ALWAYS! Let me know,up to 5 of us can drive there in my MM.

We are all a bunch of wimps here in the U.S., they had a car show, and a BBQ, and it was Minus 13 degrees !!!!
Nobody here wants to bring their car out in the snow, let alone stand around looking at the cars and eating BBQ even if it were 30 degress warmer !

:nworthy::nworthy::nworthy:

The Moped in the third group of pics must have been a Buick, it had three portholes. :D

A pretty rare Edsel, I think its a 60 model. Looks nothing like the older Edsels, looks alot like a Galaxie with different taillights.
