39 Merc All Terrain Vehicle???
Well, not really.
Ive got a stock 39 Mercury sedan that Ive been taking on camping trips this summer. Other than a few cooling issues that Ive mostly got solved, I notice that climbing hills is tough on the old Merc. Paved or not, it seems to hate pulling up a decent incline (especially from a dead stop!) I have a 59 GMC thats 100% stock that wil damn near idle up a cliff side in granny low. I realize they are very different machines, but Id kind of like it if the Merc was capable of something close to my GMC. So, the question is this: what period (40s era) upgrades can be done to the Merc to improve its hill climbing ability? The drivetrain is rock solid on the 39 and on highways and surface streets, I dont have a single complaint. Weird request, I know, but Im interested to hear what you guys come up with. |
