PHR’s Photo Contest is the perfect fit for Frank Mares; he’s been playing with cars and cameras since he was 14 when he got his first of each—a ’61 Triumph Spitfire and 35mm Argus. A lot of cars have come and gone in the years since (cameras too, we imagine), and the latest in the long line is this sweet ’62 Monterey. It was severely neglected, but solid when Frank horse-traded his way into the driver seat. The paint and interior where in good shape, but all the vital systems such as cooling and braking were in need of a full rebuild. Now that it’s back on the road, the Merc draws plenty of attention and comments, mostly from people admiring the good looks and wondering why they’ve never seen one before. We’d definitely call it a cool off-the-radar cruiser, perfect for Slo Touring. Speaking of that, EFI, overdrive, and a rack-and-pinion conversion are on the list of mods to come. When not wrenching or snapping shots, Frank’s a writer as well; you can read more about the Merc’s resto on his blog at
