What was the Monarch woody wagon nameplate? You know, like Colony Park or Country Squire? I can’t quite make it out in that picture.

Also worth note, that Turnpike Cruiser has a breezeway window just like the Mercury.

I know I’ll get crap from the 50's sytle guys but this tail
is just bad. So bad.

Put some padding on that continental kit and you could call it jump seats.

It’s not streamline moderne, nor even really art deco in a broader sense - it’s Googie. Also, it’s significantly less cornball when not possessed of a continental kit, with US Mercury lights (particularly of a lower trim), etc. etc.

Yeah, its mainly the continental kit that’s terrible.

I’m also willing to forgive that rear if it’s on a Mercury Super Marauder with a 400hp/570lb-ft six-pack 430 MEL:

I’ve heard of googie, never actually seen the word in type or spelled. I can now google googie.

Those sorts of add-on continental kits looked awkward on everything.
