Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present this absolutely
exceptional and stunning example of this virtually all stock and
completely rust and accident free and very rare 1941 Mercury 09A 2
Door Convertible Coupe with it's reliable and virtually
bullet-proof 239 L head V8 engine (a slightly larger version of
Ford's 'V8/85' having the same stroke but larger bore with brake
horsepower of 100 in '41) with a manual synchromesh 3 speed
transmission!Mercury quickly gained a reputation for performance
appropriate to it's name (after the winged messenger God in Greek
mythology) with well tuned models being quicker than the V8 Fords
and capable of up to 100mph. Mercury bowed on a 116 inch wheelbase,
four inches longer than the Ford's and sufficient to give its
similar styling a more impressive and striking look. A dashboard
with strip type instruments also like Ford's but with Mercury's
innovative column mounted gearshift. Models expanded in '41, except
for the sedan convertible which was dropped, and were restyled with
a 2" longer wheelbase with higher fenders, a divider bar grille and
fender top parking lights. Recently acquired from a prominent
collection, this particular car has been absolutely beautifully
frame off restored with no expense spared and with extraordinary
attention to detail and which is finished in a striking 'Cream'
color with a striking 'Red' leather interior and a new convertible
power soft top. The car looks absolutely beautiful and has been
professionally restored throughout with the whole car in quite
exceptional and virtually flawless condition throughout! The
'Black' Power Soft Top with Red Piping is also new as is all the
restored chromework. The original spare wheel is in it's rightful
storage place in the trunk. The Flathead 239 95HP V8 engine is
extremely strong and powerful and this particular car drives
magnificently - must be driven to be believed - drives straight as
an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly
remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day car a run for
it's money! This is a rare opportunity to own a fabulous and
peerless and most likely incomparable example of this 1941 Mercury
2 Door Convertible Coupe in simply superb condition throughout!
