    I bought this at the Turlock this past weekend. My first Mercury! 90K original miles. Original flat motor, interior, etc... Real sweet little car. :)

    That is a beauty!
    The one oddity about the 39-40 Mercurys is that the pinion gear of the rearend ring and pinion set is also the driveshaft! Yes the pinion gear is the driveshaft, no coupler, no rivets, just what 5-6 feet of steel gear shaft.

    That merc was for sale at the Albany oregon swap meet in november. It was reasonable like 12K. It was a nice looking car just needed some interior work. Good for you it looked like a good ol car.
