Vehicle Description
This iconic Flathead-powered 1947 Mercury Eight Convertible is now
available from MAXmotive's Pittsburgh Showroom. It's finished in an
elegant gray with a plush burgundy leather interior. A forerunner
in the custom and performance worlds, a smooth-running 239ci
Flathead V8 is nestled under that massive hood. A neat option is
the Columbia Overdrive 2-speed rear axle, which ably assists the
3-speed manual transmission to provide added performance and
versatility. An authentic 1947 Mercury V-8 Operator's Manual,
collectible in itself, still has the instructions for the electric
clock inside. A copy of the original Adjust-O-Matic Radio Owner's
Manual is included as well. The elegant theme carries over into the
interior, with burgundy leather seating and a rich woodgrain dash.
Wide whites, full chrome wheel covers, fender skirts, a chrome
spotlight, and dual chrome "V8" exhaust tips all contribute to the
classic magic of this Merc. The spacious trunk contains a spare
tire and jack. As testimony to the ready-to-go status of this great
car, there are seat belts in the front and back seats. And you may
often be tempted to drive with the top up. The burgundy canvas top
on this car is simply gorgeous. It's power operated too. This 1947
Mercury Eight Convertible is a fine example, it's an important part
of American automotive history, and it's all ready to drive and
enjoy. See detailed photos at www.maxmotive.com. **********

pre-purchase inspection done prior to purchase. Inspections can be
performed by an independent party selected by the buyer. Due to the
age and uniqueness of these special vehicles, it is difficult to
