This is a Very nice 1941 Mercury Convertible that is ready to be enjoyed. This car had a frame off restoration in
the mid 80's and had been displayed in a car museum for many years. It was gone through mechanically after it was
brought out of the museum so it is completely road worthy. The fuel system has been replaced with new tank, fuel
pumps, and carb. The brake hydrolics have been replaced along with new tires. This car looks Great, but it is
showing some minor wear and age and there are some detail issues that could be addressed if desired. Regardless,
this car shows Very Very well at any car show and event!,
The original engine has very little miles since rebuild and the charging system has been updated to 12 volt. It has
been updated with new hydrolic cylinders for the convertible top frame that includes a new hydrolic motor. It also
has been updated with an electric 2 speed wiper motor for reliability. In addition an electric fuel pump has been
installed and mounted to the frame. Although there have been these updates, it has been done tastefully and retains
its Original look. I am confident that this car could make any drive without problem.
The interior and top material are in Excellent condition without any tears. All seems are in great shape, but there
are a few scuffs on the seat covers from normal use. The top material is faded slightly without any noticeable
stains. The boot cover is in perfect condition and fits very well. All the glass is in perfect condition without
any cracks chips or broken spots. The trim is in very good condition without any noticeable damage. It shines very
nicely. All the electrical system works as it should. The entire gauge cluster with the speedometer have been
professionally restored recently and they look Awesome. The body is straight without any noticeable damage, but the
paint is getting old, and has some slight discoloration and very minor chips in a few spots. The plastic dash
pieces are not perfect, but have been refurbished as best as possible. The door plastics do have some cracks in
them and could use some repair. The driver side window regulator needs repair. The gear inside has a stripped spot
and needs to be pulled up when it is being cranked. The passenger regulator is a little stiff and I usually assist
that window also to keep the gear from stripping.
This is a very RARE car that you don't find available very often, and would be a very unique car at any show!
Please ask any questions about the car and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
