The tops in the bumper (pointed) looks 55 but the M badge on the hood and three vertical fingers on grille are for 1956. The side trim doesn't match with 56. Edited: Could be the cheaper Mercury Medalist? -- Last edit: 2010-05-19 17:36:01

All of these models were two doors sedans, the only body style used by the patrol at the time." Despite the blurred pic, at last, the script on front fender it reads "Custom". Anyhow as Big Dave said above, part of this original side trim is lost in these 'Special-Police' In 1.27 "Motorcycle A" -- Last edit: 2010-05-31 12:47:03
