This beautiful 1939 Mercury 2-door sedan (first year for Mercury) came via an auction from the Towe Auto Museum in Sacramento in 1999.

In 2010 the Mercury was extensively modified with new interior, a new Flathead engine and modern running gear. The Mercury is very straight,looks great and runs great. Overall mileage is unknown, however less than 2000 miles have been put on the car since the rebuild.

The interior was redone in period correct materials, with seat belts and power windows added. In addition, new vintage appearing gauges were added, and an AM/FM/CD player under the dash, easily removed if not desired. The dash was repainted, and all areas of the interior were restored.
