Current Issue of Quicksilver - Spring 2012

Quicksilver Spring 2012

The Spring 2012 issue of Quicksilver is now mailing, featuring details on the Mercurys at Iola annual show July 12-14 during the Iola Old Car Show and Swap Meet in Wisconsin.

The theme this year is “21st Century Orphans: A Tribute to Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Mercury and Pontiac,” and the Iola car show folks have set aside an area on the grounds just for IMOA members! We will be able to park throughout the show and hold the Saturday judging there.

For the early birds, automotive author and restorer John Gunnell has invited IMOA members to a Thursday barbecue at his Gunner’s Great Garage shop in nearby Manawa. John has authored dozens of books, including the Standard Catalog series from Krause-F+W Publications and was the longtime editor of Old Cars Weekly.

John Clor, another automotive journalist, will be the guest speaker at the Saturday night dinner and awards banquet. He currently manages the Ford Performance Group marketing program for Ford Racing and develops enthusiast content for the www.fordracing.com Web site.

Also, the experimental Mercury XM-800 that was recently restored is expected to be displayed during the car show. At the time of this writing, it is not known what Mercurys will be in the official display areas of the show; the deadline for applying was April 1.

The Iola show features more than 2,200 display cars, 4,430 Swap Meet booths and 1,000 For Sale cars on its 300-acre grounds.

The Spring issue also includes IMOA President Jerry Robbin’s drive report on the 2012 Ford Transit Connect,  John Harvey muses on the simplicity of some of today’s car repairs, Mercury results from the recent Barrett-Jackson auction, new Members’ Classics and much more.

Each issue of Quicksilver is filled with photos, stories and tech articles on Mercurys. IMOA members can place free classified ads in the magazine and online. Members are encouraged to submit photos and stories of their Mercurys for publication.
