It's a very rare 48 Merc Limo not a 49.
Should be good for 10 to 20 grand once the hawl it on shore. looks pretty complete.
My God - that Cuban should have his own show on the Doscovery channel Monster Garage has nothing on that mechanical wizard - and I know it hurts that the Coast Guard sank the classic cars but in sea water exposure probably ruined the metal. With that said - look how clean and unblemished the cars are.
The COast Guard sunk it sadly.
There were few cars built during the war. It was about three years before the passenger car assembly lines got running again. This vehicle would have been one of the early postwar products. I remember the first new car I saw, a 48 Ford coupe with a number of ecstatic soldiers joyriding around post.
Couldn't Agree More!!! i say that is good enuff reason to LET THEM IN!!!
