Hey everyone I was working on some of my projects today and was curious how rare is a 39 Mercury ? I have a 4 door 39 and was wondering how rare they are today and how many were made in 39
Thanks Everyone

My American Car Encyclopedia shows a total of 75,000 '39 Mercury's made. It doesn't have the numbers for each model though.
Compare it to the '39 Ford with about 28,000 4 door sedans.

When you see them for sale, it seems like almost all are 4 doors sometimes a coupe. Did they make a 2 door sedan?
 
The V-8 Album shows that 17,193 1939 (Fordor) Mercury Town Sedans,
Model-99A-73 were built. More 4 doors were produced than any other 39 Mercury car.

7,970 Sedan Coupes were produced. Model 99A-70
6,560 Tudor Sedans Model 99A-70 were produced.
7,970 Convertibles ( 2 door) were produced.

Seems odd that the same number of Sedan Coupes and convertibles is the same.
If you want to buy a copy here's a very good buy.

What body number is yours? Ours is #1808, the glass "bug" in ours is 10/38, and has the Ford-Mercury hub caps PLUS several early items different from later produced cars. We also have a 39 Mercury coupe which was 12/38 production (or there about) and a 1940 4 door Convertible Sedan. Yes Mercury specific parts for BOTH can be tough to impossible.

Ahh the illusive ford/mercury cap. In my opinion the rarest of rare in terms of hubcaps
 
Not that I want to get off subject but what is a running 39 Mercury worth ? I have a chance to buy one running and driving and it comes with a parts car which in my opinion is pretty worn!

I have a 39 Ford-Mercury hubcap.
The stainless is good - the steel outer cap is poor but I have a 39 Mercury hubcap to go with it.
Find me a pair of 37/38/39 standard original pattern running board rubber covers in usable condition and it's yours.

Michael, THIS is the "SUPER Rare" Ford-Mercury hub cap......Didn't know this one existed till Treavor sent pictures....then......I just missed this "ONE" a couple of weeks ago on EPay. More "rare" than our Ford-Mercury cap. ALSO there was a post several months back on the subject of the "Rarest" hub cap IF anyone cares to go looking.
