The interior colors were not color coordinated with the exterior colors. The inside window trim, door window trim, quarter window trim and back window trim were finished in a "Silver walnut grain". The inside door handles and window cranks were covered with a brown plastic. I don't have samples of the upholstery, bu I believe that the 1939 door panels were similar to the 1940. With cord seat covers the door panel was broadcloth and the armrests had the cord fabric. With Broadcloth seating the armrests were covered with the seat material. There was also a strip of carpeting along the bottom of the door. The rear carpet was in 3 pieces, left, right and center. I have sent you a PM about the 1939 hot water heater that I have for sale.

Tom, I was able to make the antenna work by shaving away a good deal of the flange to match the roof angle. I’m still looking for an original but this will do as it turned out great. Just need to find a 1939 heater and I’ll be in business. Regarding the paint colors; did the interior colors vary to match the paint or was everything tan across the board? Thank you

Ford and Mercury shared these colors: black, dartmouth green (dark green), jefferson blue (Dark Blue), gull gray (dark Gray), folkstone gray (light gray), coach maroon bright (medium maroon). Merrcury only colors for 1939 are: Mercury Blue Mettalic (light blue mettalic) and Tropical Green (medium green). Claret maroon ( light maroon) was added as a Spring Color on 5/1/39. Here is a link to the color chart. All of the colors on this chart are darker that the original paint, but it will give you a general idea of the color. https://www.autocolorlibrary.com/pages/1939-Mercury.html Here is another chart that is closer to the original colors, but still not correct: https://hdpaintcode.com/1939-to-1949-mercury-paint-codes/ How are you doing with your search for an antenna?

Wondering what colors were available in 39. I’ve found results for Ford/Mercury combined but didn’t know if Mercury was the same across the board with regards to color choices.
