1949 Mercury Series 9CM Station Wagon

  • Chassis Number: 9CM-140988
  • Body Number: 5697
The 1949 was designed in Ford's in-house studio by E.T. 'Bob' Gregorie and was originally intended as a Ford. It was to be the entry-level model, followed by the senior members being Mercury and Lincoln. Prior to plans being finalized, a competing Ford proposal from George Walker was chosen by management, and Gregorie's Ford was 'promoted' to a Mercury. His other two models became Lincoln and Lincoln Cosmopolitan, respectively. A smaller version of the Mercury went into production at Ford France as the Vedette.

Just as in the past, there was but a single series of Mercurys. The basic body was identical to the Ford's, but given several upmarket features, like an all-leather interior (Ford had genuine leather only on the seat cushions), twin taillights, and directional signals. They had a larger 255 cubic-inch version of the flathead V-8, but shared Ford's new independent front suspension and open drive line.

The new Mercury was introduced in April of 1948 and model year sales expanded six-fold from 1948, aided in part by a longer model year. In total, more than 300,000 were sold, with just over 8,000 of them being station wagons.

This 1949 Mercury woodie was built in Los Angeles and was found in Huntington Beach, California. It has recently been restored and is painted in its original Bermuda Cream. It has an overdrive transmission, period sun visor, wheel trim rings, a spotlight, and a fresh-air heater.
