Felix Fredlund's 1959 Mercury Monterey

A photo of Felix Fredlund's 1959 Mercury Monterey taken at an indoor car show. Felix's Mercury is one of the oldest customs in Finland. He bought it in 1978 and planned to restore it back to original. A photo of the Gene Winfield built Jade Idol changed Felix's mind, and he set out to customize it instead. The first version of the car featured a gold and red fadeaway paint job and wire wheels. According to Janne, the interior is amazing. "It's red velvet with swivel seats and an u-shaped rear seat. And of course a table with glasses. Light comes from a little chandelier!!!" Photo from The Janne Lepola Photo Collection.
