When you compare these two pictures, it is obvious that both both bodies are the same.
As has been mentioned previously on this subject, the Mercury Wagons for 1955 and 1956 actually used Ford Wagon bodies.
However, as Mercury didn't offer a Two Door Wagon until 1957, the person responsible for this great looking Mercury Two Door Station Wagon did a great job. As the Wheelbases of the Fords and Mercurys are different, he would have had to add the Ford Two Door Station Wagon Body to a Mercury Station Wagon Chassis, and add the longer front sheet metal from the Mercury. This is because the Wheelbase on the Fords was 115.5" while the Mercury Wagons were 118". All other Mercury body styles rode on a 119" Wheelbase. The builder of this wagon has to be commended. on building a fine looking Mercury Station Wagon.
