    Wildmanjoe's Popemobile.

    Here's my 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis. I call it the Pope. Why? Because they are both old, gray and heavenly.

    Get rid of those spinners and put on some turbines or just keep the steelies and clean em up. And how about engine shots? But nice car.

      That's a lot of Blingy...Good lookin' car. Pretty clean.

      Those aren't the plastic $20 Wally World spinners...Are they?

        Thanks for the complients.

        The spinners I found poking around the dumpster at Auto Zone. Two of them were cracked so I assume that was the reason they threw them out. The stock wheels are full of surface rust and I needed something to cover them until I could repaint them or replace them with some turbines in the spring, so on they went. On the upside, some 12 year old kid said my car was "pimp" when I was waiting at a stop light, so it's not all bad.

        But yeah, the spinners aren't staying on forever. I've seen some interesting wheel choices on this site, so who knows what I'll pick when the time comes?

            Those are all chicken barns, except for the one with the green/black roof, which is the grainery.

              Can't go wrong with turbines. Also, you need to get dual exhaust, 3.27 gears, PI sway bars and shocks/springs, and bigger brakes. Have fun with it.

                  The merk looks great. The chrome all looks perfect and the silver on the tail lights looks mint. Interior pics?
