1958 Big M picture Big M front firebird front

the Mercury Junior was called the "Big M" and from all of the information i currently have they were only made in 1957 and 1958 but there is very little information available on them so i could be wrong. they also made som evariation off of earlier Thunderbird bodies that were intended to attract the ever popular Junior fire fighters called the firebird and cheif. i have very little information on thes at this time so if you have any information or pictures that you would like to share send them to me. The son of the Ex-works manager from the Powercar company who used to be a test driver and was pictured in many of the publicity photos for the company has been gathering info on the vehicles made by the Powercar company for years. he is in the works to publish a book on the subject with lots of original photos and literature, keep watching this site as he gets closer to publishing the book I will probably post a message board for people that want to get on the waiting list to buy a copy, his collection is much larger and of better quality than mine so it should be a good book. Go to the main Powercar page I have started a Resourses page that I will list known available original parts and reproduction parts for Powercar products. I have also started to compile a list of surviving cars. but the list is only as good as the information that I am provided. or as good as i am able to update it. if you have information to share or parts to sell let me know. Go to the Powercar resources page
