| Jack Kiely's masterfully interpreted by Rod Ida |
The full fendered 1940 Ford/Mercury/Lincoln Coupes are iconic
because they illustrate a sort of 'high water mark' of the pre-war american
production cars in that era...
I'm sure that by now you've seen Jack's Kiely's masterful interpreted by Rob Ida this 1940 Mercury Coupe! All of these vehicles are powerful examples of these high water marks in automotive history and the cumulative result of
the continuous changes and improvements that evolved over a relatively short period of time in
these full fendered cars from that iconic generation; and sadly that high water
mark also represents the end of an era that the 'mechanic' Henry Ford founded
and ultimately engineered for the next generation of builders that followed immediately behind him...not the least of which was his own son Edsel.
