This 1939 Mercury Eight convertible is finished in maroon over tan vinyl and powered by a 239ci flathead V8 paired with a three-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive. The car was reportedly refurbished under prior ownership and was acquired by the seller in 2019. Details include a tan Haartz cloth top with a glass rear window, a two-piece windshield, running boards, 15″ body-colored steel wheels, and a heater.
The car rides on a 116″ wheelbase and is finished in maroon with tan pinstripes and polished moldings on the sides. Equipment includes a tan Haartz cloth top with glass rear window, a two-piece windshield with a center mounted antenna, running boards, windshield wipers, and chrome bumpers. A body-colored top boot accompanies the vehicle.
The 15″ painted steel wheels wear Mercury-branded hubcaps and 6.50″ wide Goodyear whitewall tires. Braking is handled by hydraulic 12″ drums at all four corners.
The bench seats are finished in tan vinyl with matching door panels and carpets and a brown dashboard. Features include simulated wood trim, a heater, locking glove box, and a clock. The AM radio is nonfunctional per the seller.
A two-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, battery, and engine temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 39k.
The 239ci flathead V8 was factory rated at 95 horsepower and features a single carburetor and an oil bath air cleaner.
Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission with an electric Columbia overdrive.
