Are you aware of all the information available at VanPelts site? http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/f...ialnumbers.htm
Looks like a 41 Mercury serial number to me, but I'm no expert, just reading the chart. |
Re: 1941 super deluxe production number It would help us to know your location, for instance NY doesn’t issue titles for any vehicle before 1973. 99A does look like a Mercury#. I once looked at a car from another state that had a cutout from another frame obviously brazed on the frame rail. Needless to say I passed on that car.

Re: 1941 super deluxe production number V8, so is the information posted on VanPelts site incorrect? I have not idea on these years, I was just going on what was in the charts there.

Re: 1941 super deluxe production number No, the serial number range for 41 Merc's.

Re: 1941 super deluxe production number I live in Wisconsin. The frame shows no signs of being changed.

So, Mr. 41 ? ......what makes you think you have a Ford? Sure it ain't a Merc? Do you have any pictures? If you have pics but don't know how to post them here, are you capable of e-mailing some pics to either myself or JSeery? We can likely post them for you. DD |

Re: 1941 super deluxe production number The 1941 Ford could have a Mercury engine as the Mercury engine was an approved option in 1941. If the Mercury engine was installed at the factory into a Ford vehicle the Mercury serial number would have been stamped into the frame rail.

Re: 1941 super deluxe production number It is a ford, it has the 3 piece grille and says ford in the middle of the grille.

Re: 1941 super deluxe production number May be what 42fred posted.

Just so that YOU understand the Ford/Mercury engine production process, as I said before....when Ford assembled a new engine back then, it was mated to a transmission which was common to both Fords and Mercurys...SAME transmission! At that time, a serial number from an allotted sequence was stamped on that top, blank pad on the transmission's clutch housing....see picture below! If it was the 90 HP Ford engine, the transmission was stamped with a "Ford" serial number. If it was a 95 HP Mercury engine, the trans pad was stamped with a "Mercury" serial number. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attac...0&d=1588135220 These engine/trans assemblies usually went into short-term stockpiles awaiting shipment to an automobile assembly plant. After arrival at assembly plant and installation into a chassis, that number stamped into the trans pad was hand-stamped into the passenger car chassis in three locations on the driver side frame rail, becoming the car's official serial number. The stock Ford engine in '41 was 221 cu. in. and was rated at 90 HP. The "OPTIONAL" Mercury engine was 239 cu. in. and was rated at 95 HP. The important info here is that cars were initially "serial-numbered" by the serial number originally stamped into the trans pad. Mercs had their own dedicated numbering sequence. Have this info fully-understood in your head so that you can rattle it off to the DMV clerk with authority! Good luck, and report back! IF your car happens to have the original transmission in it (with that "99A-" serial number stamped into it), I would take a picture of that with you to help back-up your documentation. DD ........ |
Re: 1941 super deluxe production number Thanks for the info. I have the hood and fenders off so a picture won't help. It doesn't have the original engine or trans. It had a late model Ford engine and trans which I removed. The serial number had both stars and looks to have been hand stamped so I agree that the Merc engine would make sense.
