I just purchased a pair of 1940 Mercury 2 door convertibles and I was look for some useful information from some experts. I would like to know how many they made in 1940 and the break down in vin numbers for 2door, 4door, Convertibles and Coupes.

There were no VIN numbers as such, only sequential production serial numbers. Our Mercury guru, TomO, should be able to help. It would be interesting to see pix of the two cars. They are so rare, it is remarkable to hear two of them were purchased.

Congratulations on your purchase of 2 1940 Mercury Club Convertibles. They are a very comfortable car to drive and ride in. They have a completely different body and chassis from the Ford and ride and handle better than the Ford of the same year. There were 15,072 Sedan Coupe, 9,212, Club Convertibles and 978 convertible sedans made by Mercury in 1940. I would also like to see some photos of your cars.

TomO, Thanks for all of your information. I would like to ask you a couple of more questions regarding production runs. I am a little confused on a couple of things. I am not a Mercury expert but I fell in love with the look and I knew that they made a lot less Mercury's than Fords's. I will send you some photos. 1940 Mercury Total Production 15,072 2 door coupes - 4 door coupes - 2 door convertibles - 4 door convertibles -

The total production for 1940 Mercury was 77981 1940 Convertible sedan 978 1940 Club Convertible 9,212 1940 Sedan Coupe 15, 107 1940 Tudor Sedan 15,506 1940 Fordor Sedan 37,178 I had a typo in the previous numbers. If you have the photos on your computer, just click on the "CHOOSE FILE" box and then select the file with the photo. You can only post one photo per reply. Tom
