Vehicle Description
For sale in our Chicago showroom is a 1946 Mercury Eight. Until
1952 Mercury only made one mode: the Eight. Powered by the original
239 CID V8 and shifted manually via 3-speed column-shifted
transmission, this is a very pleasant car. With as much originality
as this car has, it still has been kept up very well over the
years, and has had a number of parts replaced since '05, including
all of the brakes overhauled, a new battery, new gas tank and
sending unit and the lighting system has been gone through to
replace any faulty sockets. A vehicle of this age is truly not a
common sight, especially one in such clean shape. Add to the list
of features of this car a movie appearance, and one can see how
special this car really is! The vehicle was used in "The Miracle
Match," and a copy of the film is included in the sale. The
interior matches the exterior in terms of cleanliness and it is
very accommodating. The vehicle starts up with a purr, and this
flat-head V8 will take you anywhere the road goes. Shifting the
transmission is a breeze, and the brakes slow you to a safe halt on
demand with no drama. This is a great opportunity to own a
movie-mobile! Options include: AM Radio, Hub Caps, Seat Belts,
Cloth Interior, and Wide White Walls. For more information on this
classy 1946 Mercury Eight, contact our Chicago showroom at (708)
