Vehicle Description
The Mercury Eight is an automobile that was marketed by the Mercury
division of Ford between 1939 and 1951. The debut model line of the
Mercury division, Ford slotted the full-size Mercury Eight between
the Ford Deluxe model lines and the Lincoln. In total, Ford
assembled three generations of the Eight (before and after World
War II). The new body featured door bottoms that flared out over
the running boards, allowing for wider seats and interiors.
Although Mercury's prewar history was short, the Mercury Eight had
already earned for itself the image of being a fine performer in
mph as well as mpg, this "hot car" image quite in keeping with its
name. The Mercury Eight was strongly identified as an upmarket Ford
during this period. This spectacular vehicle is being offered in
our Pittsburgh showroom. This coupe has undergone an extensive
restoration using all of the period correct parts. The engine
features many components manufactured by the famous H&H
Flatheads. The vehicle is believed to have only 2,419 miles since
restoration. The Pheasant Red paint shows very well and is the
perfect compliment to the period correct new interior. At
Maxmotive, we are crazy about this Mercury. See detailed photos at
