About a year ago I saw a 1946 club coupe at a show and it had the crease. I don't know any details of that car, it may have been an early model. Mercurys used the Ford bodies from 1941 and up. Only the front sheet metal from the cowl forward was unique to the Mercury.

I agree, the crease is unique to the 41 long door coupes. There's a 46 near me that has the 41 roof, but the car is a street rod so I'm not sure if it was born with a leftover body shell or if it's a 41 with a 46 nose. Not sure about mercurys.
