It lacks a lot of chrome in the front too. The left one is a 1955 or 1956 Mercury, probably 1956 when viewed from behind. From behind and to the left of the black Mercury we have a 1955 Chevrolet and the next one is a 1954 Chevrolet. andys120 wrote The rear end of the black Mercury looks odd I think, supposedly the whole car has been modified.

It was common back then for car makers to make arrangements with movie and TV producers to have their cars featured, it looks like Lincoln-Mercury made a deal for NxNW. -- Last edit: 2011-09-14 14:57:42
