Mercury rat rods find their roots deep in Ford motor Company history. In 1939, Ford introduced the Mercury line to offer middle income buyers some luxury features found in the Lincoln cars. The Mercury car division of Ford remained a separate division until it was combined with the Lincoln division in 1945. Most consider the 1950’s custom Mercury rat rods the most desirable. During the 50’s, Mercury stretched and lowered the cars for a very appealing look.
