A quick observation that proved not to be totally true and also holds for Lincoln Continentals in the mid to late 40's is "Fords have vertical seams", "Mercurys have horizontal seams." But go back to 1941 and you will find fenders made in three pieces and also that the two pieces when they were used could vary on the same year from vertical to horizontal. The stamping presses and molds were hard pressed!

If you just need a steering wheel to move the car any wheel from a Model A to a 48 Ford passenger car should fit. They all used the tapered and keyed shaft.To my knowledge any Ford wheel after 1948 used a splined shaft.

You are welcome. Another tip for you is make sure that you get a photo of any part that you order from a recycler or hobbyist before you agree to purchase the part. This will give you a good indication of the condition and that it is truly a 1939 Mercury part. Describe the angle that you want shown in the photos, to reduce the chance of a scammer getting your money.

Here is a link to the sales brochure for the 39 http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Mercury/1939%20Mercury/1939%20Mercury%20Foldout/index1.html It will show you drawings of how the car was supposed to look when new. There is also some background information in the V-8 Album. The Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum may have some copies left. http://www.fordv8foundation.org/ You can also buy a jump drive with many years of back copies of the V-8 Times and there is a searchable index of topics on this web site.

You will have to search junk yards and post want ads for body parts. Here is a link to one that has a 1939 Mercury. http://www.rockymountainrelics.net/ Do not buy a 40 Merc fender as the wheel opening is different from the 39.
