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.

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.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
