A friend received a box of mid 60s Motorsports magazines in excellent shape, that were published for 3 years or so, near Vancouver Canada. Unfortunately, along with other (real) motorsports, they document the demise of numerous 1957-58 or so Mercurys in Demolition derbys! In one case 17 were entered at one event.. When I think of the 312s that were lost to that destructive nonsense..I grit my teeth! Oh! and would you believe, at the start of the event, they gave a prize to the best appearing car.. Huh!?
