THE GHOST'S TAKE

Dragged this one out of the dust. What you are looking at is a 14-inch full wheel cover from a 1960 Mercury, likely a Colony Park wagon or a Monterey. It has that classic Mercury winged-god crest sitting dead center, staring back at you like it knows where you are going. Back when Detroit was stamping out rolling living rooms, this heavy stainless pie tin kept the steelies looking respectable. Condition-wise, she is a survivor. You have got the usual road scars, some scuffs around the outer lip from kissing curbs during the Eisenhower administration, and the center emblem has a little fade and grime baked in. It ain't a concourse trailer queen, but it is a solid driver-quality cap ready to snap back onto a survivor Merc. Slap it on and let the ghosts ride shotgun.
