The Hirohata Merc is an absolutely stunning custom. Some customs look like they were modified just for the sake of being modified, but Barris hit it out of the park with that car.
I've admired that Merc for years, just recently bought a diecast of it. And got to see it close up last November at MCACN.
When I was younger, I was not much of a fan of sleds and bombers. I collected hundreds of classic car magazines and always enjoys the many different types of rides. When I seen that merc in two magazines and I was very impressed with the build to this day, and I read those back in 1981. Love the car, and there are very few sleds that I car for. Beautiful car.
