- Desirable options and equipment, including Columbia two-speed

- Very attractive color scheme
For 1941, its third year of production, the Mercury received
all-new styling and additional engineering improvements. The body
was dressed with a longer hood and front fenders, crowned by an
impressive sharply vee'd grille. Underneath, the chassis was
lengthened by four inches in wheelbase and featured additional
refinements over previous years. The attractive overall package has
led to this year being a favorite of Mercury collectors, especially
the Club Convertible, which at $1,100 was among the most costly
and, therefore, rarest models available - and is the most prized
today.
This example, offered from its long-term home in a distinguished
East Coast collection, is a handsome older restoration in beautiful
Capri Blue over dark blue upholstery with a tan top. It is equipped
with numerous desirable accessories, including the rare Columbia
two-speed rear axle, dual exhaust, dashboard-mounted radio and
clock, a heater, fog lights, DeLuxe bumper guards, and whitewall
tires. As the owner has enjoyed driving and touring in the car over
the years, it has also been equipped with an aftermarket electric
fuel pump and, for ease of operation, dual reverse lights.
Noted by the owner to still look terrific and drive great, this
fine Mercury is proudly offered to another good home that will
continue to enjoy its smooth performance on the open road.To view
