1940 Mercury Eight Series 09A Navigation
Edsel Ford knew that General Motors' marketing plan to create 'A car for every purse and every purpose' represented the future of the automobile industry; he lobbied for years to convince his father to expand the Ford product line. Finally, in 1939 the Mercury appeared.
The Mercury was priced several hundred dollars more than the Ford V-8. It was targeted at Dodge and Oldsmobile and the lower end of the Chrysler and Buick market. It was styled by E.T. 'Bob' Gregorie and the influence of Gregorie's popular Lincoln-Zephyr design is quite evident.
Wheelbase was increased from 116 inches to 118 for 1940 when this convertible sedan was built. It offered its own version of the Ford V8 - 95 horsepower with hydraulic brakes.
