Mr. Autofocus got it right on the money. That grill bar with integrated parking/turn signal lamps found its way onto many an old Mercury, a.k.a. the sled (as in lead sled). And others too. That grill is/was so popular I wouldn't be surprised if someone is making reproductions.

a '55, and used as a grill replacement by many customizers!
You're right Vin. I don't know which I see more of on custom cars...this grill or '57 Cadillac wheel covers.

They did have some great commercials especially on the Groucho Marx show.

I always liked Desotos. Not all but most.I can picture yours Dave. For not having fins it was a really nice looking car. My Dad had a '53 sedan that looked like it was waxed with a steel wool pad. It had fluid drive and was probably one of his cars that I liked least and he had many, many cars. The '57 Sportsman coupe that my buddy's dad had was one of my favorites. I loved the fins. Black and red...single headlights.
