Columbus Goodguys Nats Ohio Expo Center | 2002 Columbus, Ohio Pictures by Rick Levethal, Text by Bob Nugent A Hotrods Online Photo Expose 1940 Mercury Coupe' 70/102   |      This is another of my favorites, the 1940 Mercury. This is patterned after the Merc that Barris built for Nick Matranga in the early fifties in California. Chopped top with chrome window frames. These cars were probably the first hardtop with the look that was exclusive to the Mercury. 1940 Mercury Coupe' 70/102   |      ©1994-2002 Hotrods Online ® All Rights reserved.
