Summary
This 1940 Mercury 'Custom' Coupe is one of the very first California customs, built in 1939 by Charles Marr and Gerry Huth, and notably preserved by customizer Carl Morton for four decades. It retains its original customized body panels and trim, featuring a 276 cu. in.
More details
L-head V-8 with Isky cam and Weiand dual carburetors, paired with a three-speed manual transmission with Lincoln-Zephyr gears and overdrive. A correct 2008-2009 restoration replicated its hand-rubbed, multi-coat lacquer finish and incorporated period-correct custom touches like 1937 DeSoto bumpers and 1941 Studebaker taillights.
