Default Looking for info on this '39 Merc I just found...

Hi guys,

New here. I just picked up a very original, low mile (32,900) '39 Mercury Sedan in original paint. It sat out for a few years up in Eureka, CA but before that it was 100% garage kept since new. It's gorgeous now, I can't imagine how nice it was before it sat out...

Anyway, I learned through some hand written notes left by the second owner that the car received an AACA Preservation Award at some point and was showed around the east coast in the 80's and 90's

I googled the original owner's name (John T. Fetherston) and discovered that he was somewhat prominent. The home he owned and retired in is currently a museum...pretty neat.

Anyway, I've contacted the museum looking for photos or info on the car and thought that maybe someone here had seen the car on the east coast at some point in it's life. Also, does the AACA keep records of the awards it gives out?

Really, I'm just trying to piece together some actual history on this awesome car. Any help appreciated.
