Grayling Winter Sports Queen with Mercury V-8, January 1939

01

Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company introduced its Mercury brand for 1939. The mid-priced Mercury fit neatly between the basic Ford and the upscale Lincoln. Edsel Ford supervised the design of Mercury's 1939 models -- distinct from Ford and Lincoln, but still in keeping with Ford Motor's basic look. First-year bodies included two- and four-door sedans, a two-door coupe and a two-door convertible.
