Commander 57 ◊ 2010-07-18 16:34	I guess(?). But features look wrong: Bumper guards, two-tone pattern, lack of rear door vent windows, rear window shape.
130rapid ◊ 2010-07-18 16:41	In 1949 Mercury rear wheelarch should hide wheel.
130rapid ◊ 2010-07-18 16:42	Maybe South Africa location helps.
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-07-18 16:58	Rear fender skirts were used all 3 years but they are missing here. That 2-toning would not match any '49 to '51 Mercury side trim pattern. Likely an altered period Mercury.

Commander 57 ◊ 2010-07-18 21:54	Hey! I think you got it, Tim. And the Mercury body would be correct since it used rear-hinged back doors while the Ford had front hinged ones. (The rear bumper guards still look a bit different, though. Perhaps it's just the photo/distance.) -- Last edit: 2010-07-18 21:55:50
