This 1947 Mercury 79M Convertible Coupe has been in the ownership of the same family since new. It has never been in an accident and only shows normal wear and tear. The leather seats are original, though the surfaces and carpeting were replaced in the early 1960s. The engine compartment was repainted in the mid-1980s and all the paint is original.
This car was ordered from the factory with a heater and radio. It was purchased new in Montclair, New Jersey by Charles H. Selick. He was an avid car collector with many interests, including V-12 and V-16 Cadillacs.
In 2007 this Series 79M Convertible Coupe was brought to the Quail Lodge Resort & Golf Club in Carmel, California where it was auctioned at the Bonhams auction, An Important Sale of Collectors' Motorcars and Automobilia. It was sold for a high bid of $35,000 including premium and taxes.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2008
