    I've got to remember that 'low rider' does not necessarily mean 'chopped top' - :blink:

    Looks good, and doesn't look like the roof's been lowered any...

    You only need to lower the roof if you've got one of those "tall window" Mercurys and you want it to look like a Hudson! :P

    Thanks for the post, Arik!

    Ha! I got a friend with a nice chopped Merc. He's a smarta$$ and not a big fan of Hudsons, so I'm definitely using that next time he gives me any crap.

    Marisa Rosales and her boyfriend, Leo Milla are members of our Southwestern Borders Chapter of the HET, I featured their car in our most recent newsletter. It is really a beautiful car. They bring it out to lots of local shows, including Cruisin' Grand, Escondido's cruise night.

    Challenge him to a race and then he'll shut up.

    Here is a picture that I took of the hydraulics in this Brougham. Some of it is antique aircract stuff, WWII vintage.

    Would love to see that car in Laughlin next month. How come no one has said anything about that cool "prismatic metalic" paint job. One cool car....
