1940 Mercury Convertible - Miracle Mercury
|
The rear seat uses a stock frame, but the split front bench is a Wise Guys unit (with power lumbar and heated seating), covered in rolled and pleated black leather by Mark Gillum. On the backside of the front seats you'll find mail pouches that can hold loose papers and the proverbial what-nots. Up on the dash the radio holes were filled and a custom console was fab'd by the owner. Jaynes used '46-48 Chevy truck headlight bucket turned around backwards for the main console and filled it with the controls for the heat, air, and Air Ride as well as the Lokar 16-inch shifter. The VDO gauges were installed from the rear with '40 Mercury faces, and a milled aluminum center piece (by Russ Speelman and Bob Wellbaum) continues out to the air outlets at the dash's outer edge. The repro '40 Merc wheel from Lecarra bolts to a Flaming River aluminum column. View Related Article
