1947 Mercury two-door coupe driver! Some refer to this model as a “sedan-coupe” because it does have a back seat. The engine is the correct type of flathead although we cannot verify that it is the original one so it most likely is not. The three speed manual transmission shifts as it should and is quiet. The car runs, drives, and stops, although the steering is worn and feels a little sloppy. The body is solid with minimal rust considering its age. There is some surface rust underneath and a couple of places on the body that could use some attention but there’s nothing major. The car has been completely rewired with an American Autowire kit and converted to 12 volts. It has a Power Master “Powergen” alternator. All of the stainless is in decent condition but the pot metal pieces, the grill, and surround, etc. are pitted. Dash is in mostly original condition and has the stock speedometer, there is a full set of Autometer gauges behind the stock bezel. Currently there are no windshield wipers but we have all of the parts for the vacuum system and they go with the car. The windshield and its rubber seal are new as is the passenger side glass. We have new glass for the driver’s side and that goes with the car. We cannot deliver the car but bring a trailer or arrange for shipping and we will do what we can to accommodate. This car is not being advertised locally, on eBay, or Craig’s List or anywhere else because we want to avoid the crackpots and would really like to see it go to another HAMB’er! Payment can be made through PayPal to [email protected] or by some other reliable means like cash, certified check, etc. No personal checks, no credit cards. For more information or with any questions please email me at; [email protected] or message me here on the HAMB.
