It's a Mercury. They've never been as popular as a like-year Ford and '41 isn't really a year that gets people excited.

I would agree with this take. Its harder to find parts for my '95 Impala SS than it is for a '32 Ford. Parts aren't reproduced, NOS ones are hard to find, and used parts from a junked car are often unusable. Not to mention there are simply more parts on a late model car.
