Product Details
Hey M2 Fanatics, Do we have any Weirdos or Finks in the house??? Our good pal, “The Crazy Painter” himself Tom Kelly has bestowed M2 with some pretty wicked designs. Tom is “The last of the Original Seven Pin-stripers.” Tom was the youngest member of “The Crazy Painters” Baron, Roth & Kelly. The Baron was Tom’s grandfather and Ed Roth needs no introduction. Tom has been pin stripping since the 1950’s and has painted just about everything imaginable. One trend Tom was part of was Weirdo or Monster shirts back in the late 1950’s & early 1960’s. Tom would take a t-shirt and airbrush a Weirdo design that was truly out of this world. The Weirdo shirt trend even made the cover of Sport Illustrated in April 1961. The iconic TV show, “Leave it to Beaver” had and episode with the Beaver wearing a Weirdo shirt to school in 1962. M2 has teamed up with Tom to bring you some more of these far out Weirdo designs. Are you hip enough for these? Or are you a square?

M2 and Fun Lines brings you this limited edition 1949 Mercury Custom that was designed for the now cancelled New York Toy Fair 2022. The car was too cool not to put out. The body is painted a blue metallic with a dark gray metallic bottom. The weirdo designs are in yellow, orange & red. While the glass is clear yellow. The interior is stitched up in black with white inserts. And the whole thing travels down the boulevard on chrome rims with wide white wall tires. The regular car is limited to only 600 pieces worldwide, and the chase car version coming in at a measly 300 pieces. So what are you waiting for son???
