1940 Mercury Custom

This classic custom is a testament to timeless style. The look of a 4" Chopped Windshield with a black Carson removable top gives the best of both worlds. The Hartz black cloth is one of the finest available. This classic custom mercury combines the elegance of the rolling front fenders and streamlined nacelle headlights. Gleaming three-piece set chrome grille makes for its distinct and luxury features. The door handles have been shaved and removed for a clean custom appearance. Open the doors with Dakota digital door poppers. A remote power windows can be operated by a fob. The gleaming white paint with black Carson top and chrome finished trim makes the 40 Mercury a showstopper.

An early American automotive custom design with modern performance. Greatly improved handling thanks to a Mustang II independent front suspension with power rack and pinion steering. Modern performance needs todays braking with power front disc brakes. A 9" heavy duty Ford rear end with drumbrakes gets the job done. Power is a Ford 302 cubic inch V-8 with an Edelbrock performance intake manifold and a Holley carburetor. The Weiland aluminum valve covers is the perfect look for this custom. Let's not over look the Pertronix distributor and coil. Matched to a Ford C-4 automatic transmission with a Lokar shifter. The great rumble is from Hooker headers and 2.5" dual exhaust.

The interior features white leather seats front and back. Custom white leather door pans with embroidered "40 Mercury." The black carpet makes the white standout. The dash has the original gauge cluster. The 40 has power windows and an electrict trunk release. The trunk is fully detailed and houses the battery. The red painted steelie wheels with baby moon caps and chrome trim rings gives attention to the traditional classic look and detail.

The 40 mercury custom is truly special vehicle for enthusiasts and collectors alike. This had once formally been a Lemay Museum car.
