Vehicle Details
This stunning 1940 Mercury Eight Phaeton is a true show-stopper, a multiple award-winner that has earned top honors at prestigious events, including First Place at the Dearborn Concours, Top Honors at the Eastern Nationals, and First Place at the Central National Meet. The Mercury Eight, introduced in 1939 as a premium offering from Ford positioned between Ford and Lincoln, quickly gained popularity for its stylish design and smooth performance. This particular example, a rare and desirable four-door convertible (Phaeton), embodies the elegance of the pre-war era.
Under the hood resides the classic flathead V-8 engine, paired with a smooth-shifting 3-speed manual transmission, offering a driving experience that's both engaging and authentic to the period. The vibrant red interior provides a striking contrast to the sleek black cloth convertible top, creating a sophisticated and eye-catching aesthetic. Rolling on Coker wide whitewall tires mounted on steel wheels adorned with gleaming chrome caps and trim rings, this Mercury exudes classic charm. All chrome and stainless steel trim are in mint condition, showcasing the meticulous care this vehicle has received. This 1940 Mercury Eight Phaeton is not just a showpiece; it's road-ready and eager to be enjoyed. Opportunities to acquire a vehicle of this caliber and in this condition are rare, making this a truly exceptional find.
