Beautifully accessorized with tons of factory and dealer installedoptions! Beautifully restored California car by Larry Evenson!Excellent driver and show winner! Mercury was founded in 1937 byEdsel Ford as a bridge between the top-end Fords and the baseLincolns of the time. It was a brand that arguably struggled withan identity during its primitive years but ultimately hit fullstride after the war. Introduced in 1939, the Mercury 8 startedlife with a flathead and really came into its own with the releaseof the third generation in 1949. As the first post-war Mercury, itcame out swinging with a larger 255ci Flathead V8 and uniquestyling that better differentiated it from its Ford roots. This newintegrated fender "ponton" design helped Mercury break salesrecords in 1949. With many finding their way into the hands ofcustomizers immediately from dealer showrooms, so finding an uncut,un-chopped, or unmodified example today is very difficult!
