Is that Mercury? |

Yes, it is. And it looks like a new one. |

Voyager, I think. |

Trim looks more basic to me, more like a Commuter. Is it a two- or a four-door? |

The two models had nearly identical side trim, the only difference I see is the bit from the headlight bezel to the door lock is thicker on a Voyager. 'Course, if this is a four-door... -- Last edit: 2010-05-11 21:23:49 |

I have rewatched the scene and, despite the image is blurry, I'm almost sure it's a 4-door (I see 4 handles) and it hasn't an extra vent window after the B pillar only for the 9-Passg. wagons. So the list can be reduced to Voyager/Commuter 4-door 6-passengers. |

I don't think there was a four-door Voyager so this would have to be a Commuter then. |

Just checked the book I have for '50s cars and turns out there was a four-door Voyager. I'll defer to CougarTim, though. |

Maybe it's impossible to identify the model with this blurry picture. I have got the 1957 Mercury production and there were 6 SW that year: Commuter 2-door 56A Commuter 4-door, 6-Passenger 77A Commuter 4-door, 9-Passenger 77C Voyager 2-door, 56B Voyager 4-door, 6-Passenger 77D Colony Park 4-door, 9-Passenger 77B Well, there are only 4 1957 wagons already listed and, maybe, this car is worth to be submited but, since the picture is blurry, is it better leave it as 1957 Mercury Four-Door SW? -- Last edit: 2010-05-13 10:27:15 |

I maintain that the trim looks to be of uniform thickness along the entire body, indicating a Commuter. |
