Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
Photo shown in POST #604 is not a DEL RIO while the photo in POST #605 is.
Both trim levels had the same BODY CODE (59B) same as 1957.
Who knows?

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
The roof would have to have been chopped as the HDTP had a lower/sorter WS (and door glass) than the SEDAN and SW.
I am wondering why he didn't trim it out with 1956 PARKLANE MLDGS ... :confused:...

Actually MERC-MAN, if you look closely, it's been converted into a NOMAD look-a-like using CROWN doors, latch pillar and tiara.
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
Do you want to start a new thread on a 58?
These ILL's I am posting, can your printer expand them?
There are three face bars listed incl one style for a RHT.

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
I'm sorry about the ILL as I am having trouble with my browser as usual. Maybe MERCMAN can blow them up.
It doesn't matter about the HI-JACK (to me anyway) as if you need to know you need to know....
