1940 Mercury Club Coupe – Flathead V8, Rare Second-Year Mercury 1940 Mercury Club Coupe, a very solid and largely original example of Mercury’s second year of production. Only 15,072 Club Coupes were built, making this a scarce and desirable prewar Mercury. The Mercury line was personally introduced by Edsel Ford, positioned between Ford and Lincoln as a more upscale offering.

Powered by a newer flathead V8 paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, the car runs and drives, currently operating from a gas can, indicating the fuel system will need attention before regular road use. The drivetrain performs well and provides the authentic flathead driving experience these cars are known for. This Club Coupe has received numerous new parts, including updated wiring, new running boards, new tires, and other mechanical and cosmetic updates that add to its reliability and presentation.

The body is described as super solid, an important factor for prewar vehicles. The car shows 83,206 miles and is offered as Stock #25818. A great opportunity to own a rare and historically significant Mercury that’s an excellent candidate for continued restoration, preservation, or light recommissioning.
