How rare is a 39 Mercury?
Hey everyone I was working on some of my projects today and was curious how rare is a 39 Mercury ? I have a 4 door 39 and was wondering how rare they are today and how many were made in 39
Thanks Everyone Ethan Dixon |

Re: How rare is a 39 Mercury?
My American Car Encyclopedia shows a total of 75,000 '39 Mercury's made. It doesn't have the numbers for each model though.
Compare it to the '39 Ford with about 28,000 4 door sedans. Sal |

Re: How rare is a 39 Mercury?
When you see them for sale, it seems like almost all are 4 doors sometimes a coupe. Did they make a 2 door sedan?

They also made a 2 door and a convertible coupe in 1939.

Model-99A-73 were built. More 4 doors were produced than any other 39 Mercury car. 7,970 Sedan Coupes were produced. Model 99A-70 6,560 Tudor Sedans Model 99A-70 were produced. 7,970 Convertibles ( 2 door) were produced. Seems odd that the same number of Sedan Coupes and convertibles is the same. If you want to buy a copy here's a very good buy. https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-V-8-Alb...gAAOSw9yZdb1ln |

Re: How rare is a 39 Mercury?
This great looking 1939 Mercury Town Sedan resides in Queensland. I believe that it has since been sold after the owner pictured passed away last year. Notice that it has the Accessory 1939 Mercury Hubcaps. |

A close-up shot of the Accessory full Stainless Steel Hubcap for the 1939 Mercury. These hubcaps are rare and desirable. |

Before and After shots of an original Survivor Australian 1939 Mercury Town Sedan. Judge for yourself if the big dollars spent were worth it? I don't think so. |

Re: How rare is a 39 Mercury?
There was NO 39 Mercury Station Wagon......OR 40 for that matter. 41 Was the First Mercury Woodie!!!! IF I ever hit the lotto......It is on my bucket list to make though. I'd rather MercmanfromOz post pictures of a nice 39 Mercur being used to make a Woodie than a damn hot rod!!!! (NO mean intent on the sharing the photo's Trevor......JUST the action of making that "Nice" sedan into a Rod)

Re: How rare is a 39 Mercury?
What body number is yours? Ours is #1808, the glass "bug" in ours is 10/38, and has the Ford-Mercury hub caps PLUS several early items different from later produced cars. We also have a 39 Mercury coupe which was 12/38 production (or there about) and a 1940 4 door Convertible Sedan. Yes Mercury specific parts for BOTH can be tough to impossible.

Re: How rare is a 39 Mercury?
The '39 (and '40) Mercury Convertible Sedan was probably the rarest model...roughly only 980 were built.

I have a 39 Ford-Mercury hubcap. The stainless is good - the steel outer cap is poor but I have a 39 Mercury hubcap to go with it. Find me a pair of 37/38/39 standard original pattern running board rubber covers in usable condition and it's yours. swoopNZ. PM or email.. [email protected] |
