Ms. Denmark and I spoke to Rachel Veitch at Carlisle this year. She quite spry at 91. Her '64 Mercury Caliente was on invitational display in the "T" Building as I recall. The car is absolutely beautiful and looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

I asked her whether it was dealer maintained and she said "Now why in the world would I do that? I have my own personal mechanic that handles my car." :D

Looks like a newer-style AC compressor under the hood. She also mentions that she added cruise control after getting a ticket for 92mph. I guess she's not afraid to "mod" the car, huh?
