There is little doubt that the lineage and heritage of Pontiac in the lexicon of power and straight line rodding lore will be celebrated for generations of ol’ skoolers. Certainly, to those equally devoted to and emotionally bound at the Oldsmobile and Plymouth hips, they will also be fondly cherished and preserved in the hot rod halls of passion, loyalty and fame. But I would broker that with the exception of Ford and possibly Chevy (that’s right GM marketing wonks, Chevy not Chevrolet) there is no more classic, heart touching and glorious ol’ skool set of wheels than Mercury.
