1912 Mercer Model 35 Navigation
Mercers were the brainchild of the Roeblings who perfected the support cables for spans such as the Brooklyn Bridge. The car was named after Mercer County, New Jersey, where the plant was located.
The Raceabouts were a rich man's toy, costing about the same as five new Fords. They were designed for racing and most were used for that purpose. Each car was guaranteed to do a mile in 51 seconds. All cars were ordered special from the factory as their entire production was sold out years ahead.
Unfortunately, Washington Roebling was lost on the Titanic, and the family lost interest, thereafter, in Mercer automobiles.
