636-600-4600 Just two years after its debut, Mercury was doing its
job as the bridge between the entry-level Ford and the upper crust
Lincoln-Zephyr. Triple Stromberg carburetors replace the factory
Holley dual downdraft unit on the Ford Flathead V-8 engine. This
highly desirable Mercury convertible comes from Scottsdale Arizona
and owned by the same owner for the past ten years. Finished in
Mayfair Maroon, the droptop's paint and trim are in overall very
good order with some minor blemishes and the running boards have
aged rubber trim. The tan, folding canvas top is in very good
shape, bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is
exceptionally tidy, the cargo area with full-size spare tire is in
very good order and the chrome bumpers look great. This convertible
rolls on Commander wide whitewall tires topped with factory wheel
covers. The tires and wheel covers are in overall very good order.
Under the hood is Ford's 239 CID Flathead V-8 with Edelbrock
aluminum intake manifold and headers, dual exhausts and those trio
of Stromberg carburetors. Backing up this motor are a three-speed
manual transmission and a 3.54:1 rear end. Inside the red seats
with white trim are in overall great condition, as is the carpet
and white, two-spoke steering wheel. The metal instrument panel and
inner door liners are in excellent order. Ancillary oil, ammeter
and coolant temperature gauges from Classic Instruments are mounted
below the instrument panel but the fuel gauge and wipers are
inoperable. The factory AM radio at the top of the dash completes
the interior. The 1941 Mercury Eight got all-new styling and some
engineering improvements. The Mercury now shared its bodyshell with
Ford, probably to lower Mercury production costs. Mercury's
wheelbase was expanded by two to 118 inches. There were many
chassis refinements, including improved spring lengths, rates, and
deflections, plus changes in shackling, shocks, and an improved
stabilizer bar, but the old-fashioned transverse springs were still
used. The new body featured door bottoms that flared out over the
running boards, allowing for wider seats and interiors. The car had
two inches more headroom, two-piece front fenders (three-piece at
first), and more glass area. The front pillars were made slimmer
and the windshield was widened, deepened, and angled more steeply.
Parking lights were separate and set atop the fenders for greater
visibility. Headlight bezels were redesigned. In all closed
Mercurys the rear-quarter windows opened out. Front vent wings were
now crank-operated, and in closed, cars the ventilation wing
support bars rolled down with the windows. The four-door
convertible, offered in 1940, was gone, but a station wagon was
added. The Woodie wagon's body behind the engine cowl was identical
to Ford's and produced at the company's Iron Mountain plant in
Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The "Eight" script was moved to the
rear of the hood. 90,556 Mercury Eights were sold in the 1941 model
year. Convertible competition to this Mercury in 1941 included
Buick's Super Eight, Chrysler's New Yorker, Dodge's Custom,
Oldsmobile's 98, Pontiac's Deluxe Torpedo Eight. Pre-World War II
car fans, those who favor Mercurys over Ford or collectors who like
something seldom seen should visit MotoeXotica Classic Cars to
review this Mercury Eight Convertible. Like the Roman god for which
the marque is named, we predict this car won't linger long. VIN:
