Thanks! 6.00 & 6.50 16's

 

I like the stock Taillights, stands and all. Here's the ones I don't like.

The ones it has now look way better.

Same car ain't it? Fellows, ain't we deviating a bit from the focus of the thread? Was the production low on these 41 sedans? They have recently (thanks to hamb exposure) become high on my coveted list!

 

I don't know the actual production numbers, but a buddy had one I liked in high school circa 1955. I can count on one hand the number I've seen in the 60 years since then!

 

1941 Mercury Production Numbers:
Club Coupe 19-77 1,560
Coupe with auxilliary seats 19A-67 1,251
Sedan Coupe 19A-72 12,297
Sedan ( 2 door) 19A-70 11,276
Town Sedan (4 door) 19A-73 25,922
Club Convertible 19A-76 6,112
Station wagon 19A-79 1,010
Info from THE V-8 ALBUM

 

Thanks, Rik. I guess this really illustrates that all the '41 Merc models were scarce, except perhaps the 4-door. I'm not surprised to see how few short door coupes were built -- I've only seen one in my entire life!

 

Since your talking 41 Mercs, here's my 3. More door mild kustom, coupe w/auxiliary seats and a vert. Two of these are for sale

My old '46 ......

 

Nice '46 short-door coupe at the Belmont Shore car show last weekend. IMO it needs better wheels.

 

I'd sure like to have the business coupe/ short door!

 

Started the build thread on my 1946.

Just picked this up

 

Before it even starts, no this is not a "gasser!!!!", this is the way I remember a lot of fat fendered street rods looking in 1972. Wonder if this is still sitting in a garage somewhere in Federal Way? Gotta like the chambered Corvette side pipes with no covers...

 

Theres kind of a secret agenda behind the last three car pics I have posted. Chip started it, and I'm running with it.

 

Here are some pictures of my 48. I took the car off the road in 1977. I updated it a few years ago but kept the 50's custom look. View attachment 332

 

Our '46, stock inside, stock trans and rearend, sbc, hurst front mount, Lancer caps

 

You did not get a photo posted! I'd like to see more because the avatar pic is enticing! Do you still have the battery under the hood?

 

At Chopped today, lots of mud...

Here is one I had a while back

 

Well the hard work part is over. I'm going to try and get some video's from inside/outside goin' down the road.

 

There are two 46-48 club coupes in Spokane that still look like that. One is purple with deep cragars, the other is light yellow with green flames and cragars I think. I think both are FE powered with 4 speeds. Sits very high, all the way around. I remember them as a kid and still see them every summer out cruising.

 

Man, I'd LOVE to see those! When I was a young teen in the early seventies, you saw a LOT of fat fendered cars built in that style. Sure beat the hell out of the monochromatic pastel pink purple and mint green, dropped and clipped look that became popular on fat fender cars about ten yrs later!

 

If you are ever in Spokane, I know where one lives. Now that I think about it, I think one was 428 Ford, and I think one was Pontiac powered?

I do know a guy with a 46-48 Mercury, blue with red and white interior. 389 Poncho, 4 speed, rear end unknown...sitting with a blown up tranny from 70's/80's street racing. But it is not high like those. Still a neat car but unfortunately been sitting outside under a tarp for the last few decades
