A Vintage Beauty
This vintage 1939 Mercury Eight 99A sedan showcases the style of the post WWII era and is the first model year of the vehicle. Restored period correct about 15 years ago utilizing as much original equipment and parts as possible, this vehicle comes in an original style deep red paint job complemented by a grey interior. Powering the 99A is a Chevrolet 350 small block V8 mated to the original, manual, 3-speed transmission. With a more modern engine and a complete reworking of the 12 volt electrical system, this classic is a lot easier to live with and maintain. The Mercury comes from a private collection for use on special occasions as well as regular sunny day drives. Our Mercury has been entered into local car shows and won awards.
The Mercury Eight is one of the most iconic classics to date. Often hot rodded, this restoration aimed to bring back the late ‘30’s back to life. If you're looking for a solid classic from a bygone era you’ve found a great car.

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 (later Custom) model lines and the Lincoln. In total, Ford assembled three generations of the Eight (before and after World War II). Although "Eight" script would not appear on the front of the hood until the 1941 model year, sales literature prominently referred to the car as the "Mercury Eight" from the very beginning. This is no doubt because the actual series names, 99A in 1939 and 09A in 1940, were somewhat less enticing.
