I suppose it´s because the first Mercurys were released as Eight, including the updated 1942 models that were continued 1946-48. But it´s correct that from 1946 models Mercury only named their cars by the different bodies. They´re still badged EIGHT in the grille though, that could be an explanation that it´s still used on the site here. 1942: 1946:
