1947 or 1948. Deluxe WD3S offered in both years. More important than exact year
is condition and completeness. Made by Kiekaefer (Mercury) for sale thru
Weatern Auto Associate stores under Wizard label.
A few pictures and the story about how it came to be yours...Please.
Part of the fun of having an antique outboard is bringing it back to useful
service and/or getting it to look its best.
