I do not know if any of the steering wheels that you have will fit. The shaft that the wheel fits onto has a key slot and is threaded 5/8"-18. So if the wheel that you have has provisions for a key and has an opening for the 5/8" shaft. it will work to turn the wheels of the car. Looking through the Ford parts catalogs that I have, the 56 F100 wheel may work. I know that the 51 Mercury steering wheel will fit the 40 Mercury, but the steering wheel lock will not work with the 51 Steering wheel. I had one on my 40 Merc convertible when I was in high school. It came from a totaled out new Merc convertible. Post some photos of the car, we all would like to see your new car. Tom

I do not know the difference. Looking at what I have, I am impressed with the similarity of the contours etc. but that does not address the practical issue of whether it fits and does not address the horn. If you need images of the '39 Mercury, let me know.

I don't know if it fits, but the 1951 Mercury steering wheel looks a lot like the '39.I have both a '39 and a '5 1 and images of others in the early'50s might be similar. If painted the correct color and you "fake" a horn button you would look pretty good.

A little background information I'm about to buy a 1939 Mercury that used to belong to my granddad he gave it away in 2009 to a man he bought cow feed from when I was 7 and I messaged the man who still has it he said he would sell it back to me for 400 but there is no steering wheel in it. is there any other type of steering wheel I can put on it temporarily to roll it around and steer it ? I have one for a 56 f100 and a 59 ford fairlane also one for a model A JOHNDEERE only reason I mention the JOHNDEERE is I saw one with a car steering wheel
