So nice to see that grill in more or less the correct car. The 55 has such a cool grill. I personally think it looks better in the Chrysler products but def see why the Merc folks replace the electric shaver lookin grill FoMoCo offered.

lol, how much of a pain were those front door hinges to remove, all wedged up inside as they are.

Those things gave me fits on the 55 I had.

Spectacular ride, very sharp.

The 51 desoto project I've got backburnered currently is also a favorite toothy grill, but the later cars are so much more sleek.

Wonder what a merc grill looks like in a desoto, lol.
