Cool ride, do you know if it was used as a police car? Just wondering about the lights on the windshield.

The spots are on the A pillar and were popular on a lot of customs in the 50s and early 60s, although I imagine their must of been a '49 Merc. cop car somewhere!

MPC made a snap kit of a 49 Mercury police car in the 70s, I don't know if there were any in real life.

Great build you've got there.

Great clean job on the engine details and window trim.
Is that a pearl of fine metallic in the finish? Nice.
