After owning a 1940 Mercury convertible in the 1950s, Jim Forshee always regretted selling it. Then, in 2016 he found this one, identical to the he had.  He bought it and once again had his 40 Mercury convertible.

This 1940 Mercury Eight 2 door convertible has a flathead V8 239 Cu 3.9 L engine that runs great and draws quite a crowd where ever it goes. It’s restored to all original and the odometer reads 7930 miles. The engine needs some detailing, other than that the Mercury is in show quality. VIN: 09A76-7703
