While bearing some minor signs of aging, the Merc ragtop still presents well and would attract attention at any local or regional show. Power comes from the 225 cubic inch flathead V8 and is transmitted to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission. Other factory options include power brakes and power windows. This car has been in the portfolio of the present owner for almost 15 years and was restored at some time prior to his ownership.

Eight

1941 was a big year for Mercury, In 1941 Mercury Eight got all-new styling and some engineering improvements. Mercury's wheelbase was expanded by 2.0 inches. There were many chassis refinements, including improved spring lengths, rates, and deflections, plus changes in shackling, shocks, and an improved stabilizer bar.  The new body featured door bottoms that flared out over the running boards, allowing for wider seats and interiors. The car had 2 inches more headroom, two-piece front fenders (three-piece at first), and more glass area. The front pillars were made slimmer and the windshield was widened, deepened, and angled more steeply. Parking lights were separate and set atop the fenders for greater visibility. Headlight bezels were redesigned. In all closed Mercurys the rear-quarter windows opened out. Front vent wings were now crank-operated, and in closed cars the ventilation wing support bars rolled down with the windows.

The production figures listed in this Cougar Eliminator’s Marti Report indicate that it is the only one that Mercury built in 1970 with its unique combination of speed equipment and optional accessories. While there were more than 70,000 Cougars built in the 1970 model year, just 2,268 of them were the hot Eliminator models. The Cougar Eliminators were cats apart from the rest with their bold hood and fender stripes, a hood scoop, front and rear spoilers and three high-performance engine options.
 
 
This Competition Blue Eliminator has the rarest of the three V-8s—the 428 Cobra Jet, which had power ratings of 335 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque. The car’s Drag Pak option—consisting of a beefed-up bottom end, external oil cooler and 3.91 gears in the Traction-Lok rear end—not only upgraded the Cobra Jet to Super Cobra Jet status, but also made this Cougar rarer still as one of 127 built. Cougar Club Eliminator Registrar David Wyras said this car is one of five that combined the Drag Pak option and a C6 automatic transmission (“Select-Shift” in Mercury speak). Collectors take note: the Cougar’s driveline, from the matching-numbers 428 SCJ to the nodular rear end, is factory-original equipment.
 
 
All Cougar Eliminators with the 428 CJ were equipped with Mercury’s Competition Handling Package, which included firmer springs and shocks, as well as a larger front sway bar. Also ordered for this car were the optional power front disc/rear drum brakes and power steering. F70-14 tires were standard equipment; on this Cougar, they are mounted on Mercury’s optional styled-steel wheels. The Cougar’s interior includes blue vinyl high-back bucket seats and a console surrounding the C6’s floor shifter. An earlier restoration by Cougar Specialist KTL Restorations retained the car’s original sheet metal, and, more recently, the car went to Marcus Anghel of Anghel Restorations of Scottsdale, Arizona, for the addition of NOS components and freshening to make this car as factory-correct as it can be.

Ordered and owned by the governor of Mexican State of MichoacÃ¡n de Ocampo Complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration Includes original 1947 79M owner's manual  In the 1930s and 1940s, few cars had more prestige than the Mercury Woodie station wagon. The highest priced model in the Ford line, it carried as much status as a Chris-Craft speedboat. Hotels, resorts, country clubs, stables, and movie studios sought after woodies to project a sense of class and sophistication. In 1947, the eight-passenger station wagon was the most expensive model in the Mercury lineup, selling for $2,207.  In total, there were a mere 3,558 examples produced, as compared to 16,104 Ford wagons that year. The timber was mostly maple and ash framing with mahogany panels, all grown from Ford's forests, then harvested, dried and aged at Iron Mountain. Skill craftsmen hand-built, assembled and trimmed each Woodie body, a process that was complex and expensive to build.  In 1947 JosÃ© MarÃ­a Mendoza Pardo, then the governor of Mexican State of MichoacÃ¡n de Ocampo, sought to be associated with the high end lifestyle of the Woodie. He special ordered the Mercury directly from Ford and had it shipped to him in Mexico. Purchased with government money the car was licensed as a government vehicle and plated as such. In 1949 due to some political unrest in the region Mendoza abandoned the vehicle with relatives, never to return.  Fast forward to 1994 in San Luis, Mexico. The Mercury is presented as a trade for a 1959 Mercedes 220. The new owner saw the potential of the old Woodie and set about a complete restoration that would cover the next 13 years. Why would a restoration take 13 years? The owner wanted the car to be as original and correct as possible. Vintage period parts were sourced, including correct upholstery and roof top materials. The original glass of the car was kept in great condition, and it is currently displaying the original Mexican government registration stickers that were assigned to the car in the 50s and 60s.  The original wood framing of the car was retained and restored. The remaining panels were hand crafted by furniture restoration specialists who still possessed the skills and knowledge to shape fresh maple. Even the correct, original paint color and type was used in finishing the car. The final step was to establish the history of the car, and to answer the question of why such are rare American car was in Mexico in the first place. El Museo del Automovil in Mexico City was contacted who, after an exhaustive search, discovered the fascinating origins of the Mercury.  Once completed the Mercury was entered into a variety of high-level Mexican car shows where it either won overall or placed in category. At the prestigious Concurso de Elegancia Huixquilucan in 2009 it was selected for the Hall of Excellence out of 450 cars from around the country.  The Mercury returned to the U.S. and was sold by the second owner in 2011, arriving at Canepa for the first time. With only 47,000 original Kilometers (29,204 Miles) the Mercury was put under the Canepa Difference, where a total of $49,181 were invested to bring the car to the American standard of concours condition and mechanical reliability. $15,000 was spent in chrome plating and polished stainless-steel trim restoration. The Mercury was mechanically serviced from bumper to bumper - tune up, brake service, engine seals, gaskets, new tires, coolant system service, fuel lines/fuel filter, and all fluids changed. The Mercury was sold in 2017, to a Bay Area enthusiast who enjoyed the car until 2021.  As with all things time moves on and tastes change, but true icons are constantly reborn. The Woodie took on a new life in the 1960s and 1970s as it became synonymous with California, surf music, and bikinis. What was once viewed as the stately realm of the country squire was now the home of the pioneers of modern surf culture. 70 years on and the Woodie continues in the spotlight as a sought-after classic car that has both investment potential and useful practicality.
