It starts with a 1948 Ford convertible body…Wait, no… A more rare, and more premium Mercury version. Then add a full custom paint job with candy-coated flames. Give it a modern Mustang interior, A/C, Camaro chassis, and a performance-built ZZ4 crate motor, and you realize that you don’t have to imagine this amazing package, because it’s right in front of you! We’ve all seen cool custom cars with fire painted down the side, but what happens when the whole convertible is turned into a flame? Well, for starters, it causes a stir wherever it goes. The white hot flame at the front fades into yellow, and it all boarders the red with a steely-blue finishing touch. There were some great details from Mercury that made this convertible destine for hot rod royalty. This includes the intricate chrome front and rear bumpers, plenty of bright trim, and the cool wraparound taillights. Having these factory elements in place combined with custom pieces like the paint, lowered suspension, and shiny Halibrand 15-inch wheels give this drop top an undeniable presence everywhere from the cruise-in to the car show.
