1941 Mercury dream car short or long door = Hell yea!!!! The Erickson's / Extreme Kustoms 951 678-3520
WOW! Nice find. Congratulations. That's a model 19A-67 with with the auxiliary seats. Only 1251 units were produced. Kind of rare.
Thanks everyone I'm really stoked about this one. 19Fordy thanks, I hadn't even pulled the production numbers on these cars, that's pretty awesome that there are only 1251 units ever produced of this model.
I picked up a 41 Mercury long door and I have been upgrading parts... I'm not keeping spares so I'll have extra parts available once I sort out what I'll be using... at least you have the advantage of seeing it together before you start... mine has been apart since 74 and he bought a 41 ford parts car and so it will be a trial and fit project to say the least...
dang....I've been looking for one of these for YEARS. They're rare as chicken lips. Why don't you flip it to me?????????????????????????????????
Definitely, keep in touch I'll have a few pieces that I wont be using as well...P'M me your info...Thanks, Eric My wife probably would want me to, but the chances of me finding one later are slim to none ....Thanks for looking
HOW IN THE H-E-double hockey sticks DID I MISS THIS!!?? I have been following with interest your Chevy build - and now this!? Awesome! I will be P.M.ing a few of youse-guyses real soon! Great find (Alabama must have these tucked in a few corners as that's where mine ended up before landing here). Best of luck with both projects! Dave
Great find and nice project car. I passed several years ago on a short door 41 Mercury and bought the dealer's 46 Coupe. The 41 was 50% bondo and not many trim pieces original. That grille is hard to find. Don't know where it ended up. Good luck.
Dave, I remember your 41 when it was for sale on here, looks real good. Thanks for looking, should be starting on this late next year, this one will be an old school build, no bags like my 54... Thanks for looking, found a few grills, about all I'm missing is the rear trim now and a few odds and ends....
Is that 1251 19A-67 coupes in the States or North America? I bought a 41 merc with auxiliary seats in 2012 and found a book with all on Mercs from 39-50's and found 1954 made I believe of the 19A-67? Hmm I'm just curious where you found that number! I love these cars and will NEVER sell my 41 merc. To rare and to beautiful to sell.
Thanks fellas.... Where are y'all finding any information on these cars? I'm with you Merc41 I will NEVER sell mine! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Although probably not of much interest to most of those wishing to read about your finding your dream car; I have come across some production numbers I will add here if that is okay. Might help those following along to know what the designations refer to as well: According to quotes from the "V8 Album", the "Ford Factory" (U.S. only?) and an unknown researcher (domestic & foreign) - production numbers* were: 19A 67 Coupe (opera seat)............................ 1,251.......... 1,841......... 1,954 19A 70 Tudor Sedan.....................................11,276........18,983........20,932 19A 72 Sedan Coupe (this is the "long door")....12,297.........17,259........18,263 19A 73 Town Sedan......................................25,922........38,848........42,984 19A 76 Club Convertible................................. 6,112......... 8,157......... 8,556 19A 77 Coupe (business)................................ 1,560......... 3,117......... 3,313 19A 79 Station Wagon.................................... 1,010.......................... 2,291 19A 84 Convertible Sedan................................................................... 119 *From the V8 Times - issue unknown. -Dave p.s. I won't be selling mine either!
Good Lord those are some low production numbers. Makes me feel bad about wanting to chop it...not really...lol Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
The Tormey Merc was originally powered by a full race 296 cuin Merc mill, complete with all the goodies. Later an Oldsmobile mill was dropped in, so it seems he was into speed and kustoms. But to answer your question I'm not sure about the race car in the background.
