Well, my 16 year old has bought his first car.  Having helped me work on my 57 Fairlane since he was old enough to hold a wrench, he was bound to want an "old car" for his first.  Looked and looked, locally, ebay and CL.  Finally located a 63 Mercury Monterey in northern Tennessee and made the deal.  Drove 26 hrs straight up and back to get it.  Bit more of a "project" than we would have liked, but its here and its his, so the "project" is on.  Not a Y car but pretty close, so I am posting this initial story in "this and that" for those who might like to follow.  Also, I'd appreciate any input, suggestions, encouragement for my son from any of you who would be so kind as to encourage a youngster in the old car hobby.  A few pictures follow, and more as the work continues... ; his name is Daniel.  thanks, Mark
