what is it off of?


i grabbed this truck hood while working one day. The whole truck was there but no salvageable parts but i grabbed the hood just to hang in the garage. The engine was there too, with the top end on the ground. it was a flathead 6 but way too heavy to grab. It was in a building site where a bunch of houses are going up in windsor so i figured i'd grab what i could before that lot was sold.

i would say late 40s. its a V shaped hood. Thought it would look cool hanging from the wall/ceiling in the garage, with some flames pinstriped on it.

1950 Mercury trucks

http://www.wingedmessenger.net/Images/48m-350.jpg

Mercury Trucks were built and sold in Canada. They are rebadged versions of Ford Trucks, often with better interior appointments and more options. Sizes range from the basic M-1/M-100 personal pickup and panel delivery to heavy duty dump trucks and semis. For a great source of information on Mercury Trucks, please visit
www.mercury-pickup.net or www.mercurypickup.com
