RE: [StockSSDragRacing] Re: HELP !!!! Ford or Merc ???

 

(Damn, I promised I was gonna leave this one to Alan) FOR SURE the Cdn mercury Meteors were on the Ford WB. No doubt about that. Dozens of photos. The big ?? seems to be if the the Merc taillights were carried over from '55 to '56, or if the merc tailights were just used on the higher end meteors in both years.

Work must still be slow Chuck. LOL  I'd forgotten about the Merc side contour. Your first assessment was dead on.

All 4 Mercs in '56 (Medalist, Custom, Monterey and Montclair) rode on a 119" wheelbase vs. 115.5" for the 55-56 Ford. The exception to this was the stationwagon at 118" which I believe shared the body with the Ford. The tail lights on the car being discussed are Merc station  wagon only which are a direct bolt on a Ford as  they used the same quarters. The trim is also 56 Ford so I'm sticking with Ford with Merc lights as this was a common customizing trick in the 60's....  
 
** The French? built Monarch Lucerne & Meteor Rideau did appear to use 55 Ford bodies but not Ford trim...
