Hi guys, I'm a new member to EFV-8. I'm currently building a 39 mercury sedan and am looking for a grill; original or aftermarket. Can anyone help me with this?

Welcome to the Forum and the Club. Original grills show up occasionally on E-Bay, but you may have better luck by putting an ad in the classified section of this site, the V-8 Times and The Swap Meet on the Ford Barn. Here is a link to the Ford Barn. http://fordbarn.com/ You can also search for parts for your Mercury on Ownster.com. The search engine searches on each word, so to limit your search results just use 1939 Mercury. Here is a link to Ownster. http://www.ownster.com/index.cfm?type=Parts Check out Hemmings for vendors listing parts for the 39 Mercury and contact them, even if they do not list a grill in their ad.

Not sure where you live , but you might post a want ad on the Sacramento and San Francisco Craigslist. Also post a free want ad with Cruisin News in Sacramento; www.cruisinnews.com. I was at the Auburn ,Ca last Sunday (6-12) and saw a fairly nice 39 Merc grill there for sale. This swap meet usually draws a lot of folks from the Sacramento area and Cruisin News covers a large part of the San Francisco and Sacramento area. The editor of Crusin News is also a Merc guy.

Welcome to the "fun" part of restoration. I spent the better part of five years searching for parts for my '47 convertible, many of which are unique, and not shared with closed cars. Beware of the "scammers" who claim to have the part you need, but demand the cash "up front". When I started in this game, many years ago, I wish I had a resource such as this Forum. What you want and need is out there, but it requires persistance. The Early Ford V8 Club is a precious exchange, and if you need to find something, or get cornered by a problem, this is the place for help!

You should specify the body type in your want ad and post it on the classified section of the Early Ford V-8 Club's web site. You should also post it on the Swap meet area of the Ford Barn http://fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=6

pumphrey 3338: I have a grill in suboptimal condition, but probably restorable; cost would be minimal. send me a PM.

Thanks, I ended up building the grill. looks great! Can anyone tell me if the 39-40 ford deluxe headlights will fit the 39 merc sedan fenders. I don't like the bulky headlight trim.
