Customer Testimonial:
"On Mother's Day in 1966, my grandfather presented my grandmother with her gift, a new Mercury Comet Capri.  She enjoyed the car for many years, literally driving it locally only on Sundays.  After my grandfather passed away, I was her frequent sole companion on many of those outings-to shows, movies and restaurants.  In the early 1970's, as a pre-teen middle child, I appreciated the attention she afforded me.

In the late 1970's, she was unable to drive the Comet anymore, and I was glad to have occasional access to drive it.  Although large and yellow, I remember it had good pick-up and rode smoothly around town.  It remained in great condition due to constant care and low mileage.  My grandmother passed in 1981, and the car came into my family's possession.  After about 10 more years of good service,  the Comet's condition worsened, and it was scrapped.

Over the years, I never forgot the pleasure of my grandmother's old car. In middle age, when most men look for exotic or muscle cars, I wanted a car that reminded me of my special "little old lady."  After searching the internet for about a year, I located a similar model in California.  With a national reputation for restoration of Mustangs, I entrusted the car to Joe Dutkiewitz and his team at JD's.  After a laborious year, the tremendous results are pictured below. My family and I have been enjoying weekend outings with the Comet over the last year, and it always makes me happy to think of my beloved grandmother."
