For Sale: 1939 Mercury Eight in Bellevue, Washington

Vehicle Description

Park Place Ltd is pleased to present this absolutely gorgeous 1939 Mercury 8 Coupe. Completely restored and impeccably finished in a very pleasant show-quality Tan paint color with an equally fabulous interior featuring Tan upholstery, this '39 Coupe is an outstanding example of a very rare first-year of production Mercury that came to us from the Art Astor Devotion Collection. Power comes from a 239ci V8 (factory rated at 95hp) with Columbia 2-Speed Overdrive Trans. The 1939 Mercury V8 was the first in the Ford product line. It was produced at the insistence of Edsel Ford who realized Ford needed a product that filled the $500 gap between the Ford Deluxe and the Lincoln Zephyr. It was priced at $934 and featured a 95 horsepower flathead V8 motor. It utilized a three-speed manual transmission with Columbia overdrive. This fine example's mile-deep paint sparkles in the sun. The body is straight and solid and the paint is in excellent condition. The tan fabric interior is not worn or soiled and the plastic on the steering wheel is not chipped or scratched. It is fitted with fog lights and white wall tires. This car easily cruises at freeway speed and is a pleasure to drive, with excellent road manners and a capable engine. This Mercury's amazing overall condition, charm and character make it difficult not to fall in love with this near 80-year-old classic. An excellent example of a 'First' Mercury that's ready to drive, show, and enjoy!Los Angeles Broadcasting Pioneer Art Astor was a man known for many things.
