Canadian 1942 Mercury

[Strick]

Can anyone decipher the codes on this firewall plate?

That was built in Windsor, Canada with a 239 flathead engine.

Just found the colour which is blue gray metallic.

This is a 42 Mercury engine.

Those Canadian firewall tags are special to them and often missing. Newc

Thanks guys. Let’s keep the info coming

Strick I have copied these pages out of a Canadian parts catalogue book I have. You should be able to decypher the tag. I presume it is a Mercury Car not a truck. This is a 1946 book. You will need to open the pdf document and move page over to view it all or maximise the pdf to get a full page.

I guess was wrong on the colour, it should be Black.

Ok thanks for the correction

Blue Grey or Black - that is an awesome vehicle! The closest I got to any 1942 was a Deluxe Blackout Coupe that got away.
