As the restoration of my car unfolds and I learn more about the 1958 Mercury, certain mysterious discoveries keep me puzzled. Unlike with highly collected cars, there is not a wealth of information about the 1958 Mercury to refer to. If anyone can shed any light on these mysteries or confirm or refute my assumptions please contact me and tell me.
