Listen in as Wayne Carini walks through all the intricate details of this spectacular Hirohata Mercury!

The custom car craze in the late 1940s found its calling with the restyled Mercury coupes of the early postwar era. Featured in magazines, the 1951 Hirohata Merc customized by the Barris brothers, sits showcased the first-ever chopped and sectioned roof design on a Mercury.

After changing hands over the years, it underwent restoration in the 1990s and received numerous awards. This legendary car, representing the pinnacle of custom builds, will be a highlight at the Kissimmee 2022 auction. Its exclusivity and significance make it truly one-of-a-kind.
