The Mercer raceabout epitomises both beauty and simplicity from an age when the designer could omit anything thought non-essential and the buyer had no expectation of anything more. Vestigal body work, no front brakes, no weather protection and very little of anything else. Little suprise that the Mercer raceabout is one of the most desirable sporting cars of the pre WW1 era. https://www.supercars.net/blog/1911%E2%86%921914-mercer-series-35/ https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/magical-mercer-1914-mercer-raceabout
