Ok help, what is that thing in the background called, i love these cars, they look like some futeristic batmobile, but i can never find them cause i dont know what genre they are, I.E. Hot Rod, Lowrider etc.
can anyone help???
yes, I can. as frustrated palm said, it falls into the category of a hot rod, but its actually a 49 mercury, with the top heavily chopped, those cars are the quintessential customs (kustoms
). those cars arent built to be that fast, but instead to look sinister and ride with style. and as you say you love them, well, lemme the make a post with nothing but mercurys on it, and then another one with customs from other brands. enjoy it, man. the photos are cool. and you can find more if you follow the links of the images
lez start with this completely awesome flamed and chopped 49-50 mercury more-door:
check out that tiki god pinstriping!!
this one is a two door. check out the wicked (WICKED) top chop. windows the size of mail slots!!
a convert, mildly done, check out the louvered hood.
50 feet of flames!!! woooo!!
I hope this one belongs to a girl. fine workmanship tough, with a gille taken from a late-40s oldsmobile:
misty blue:
a very elegant maroon convert:
its continental-kitted rear:
more black, more flames:
packard tailights. the interior just doesnt cut it, tough - . -
a blue one with outlined flames:
omg! an unchooped merc! this is one rare sight. most mercs are chopped. this is one thats nearly stock. the only items I can see that arent are the frenched antenna, the apletton spotlites, the fenderskirts and those lakes pipes in the sides of the car.
a custom merc with a rare twist: a blower poking thru the hood!!!
well, thats it. want more, as well as more of MANY other cars, hot rods or not? go to seriouswheels.com.

hope I helped you knowing what those cars were man
EDIT: sooorry, but I just had to show you this. believe it or not, it is the same car as those above, but so HEAVILY customized, you wouldnt notice it!!! lookat all the custom tricks!! definitely not the most beautiful thing, but worth because of the work on it!!!
now im done, If i have to reedit it a bit, itwill be because of something really awesome @.@
