You questioned the Mercury for some reason. I think the connection is that James Dean drove a '49 Mercury in the movie 'A Rebel Without a Cause'. If it was that Mercury it would be significant for historical reasons.
That's some real good info. For some reason I didn't take note of the year the car was made, even though it was littered with signs. I won't be around the next couple of Fridays, but I'll be sure to ask about it car if I see it again.
