1939 Mercury Velocipede Tricycle (World’s Fair Model)

Designed by Viktor Schreckengost, Murray’s chief designer, the streamlined 1939 Murray Mercury bicycle was launched to much acclaim at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

It became the 1939 New York Worlds Fair’s ‘official bicycle’ and several were on display in the MAN Building at the Fair.

The Mercury World’s Fair Pacemaker bicycle is rare and sought-after these days. But the velocipede tricycle featured here, which mirrors the design of the bicycle, is even harder to find.
