This meticulously preserved Mercury Eight Convertible is all-original and has zero rust. It has a little over 24,000 original miles. This is the last and best year of this classic body style. It was initially called a Mercury 89M model but was more commonly referred to as the Mercury 8. It features the original Flathead 8-cylinder engine and a recently serviced 3-speed manual transmission with a new clutch. The body, floors, and trunk pan are also solid and 100% original. There is no Bondo and the paint shows brilliantly. A close look at the dashboard and glovebox area shows how nice and original this convertible really is. This Mercury was sold new in California, has always been garaged, and has never had any rust or deterioration.
