It is 1956, you need a new car, you are 30 years old, you make a comfortable wage, you have a family of four, you need at least a 4 passenger vehicle, it will be your only vehicle, your daily driver. What new vehicle would you buy?
My choice is the Mercury Monterey [love this color combo but not many pics to be found; hate the connie & diving platform, anybody with PS skills feel free to remove it]:

These last two pics are to show the rear view without the connie [the way it should be].

Agreed, the Imperial is "to die for"...

Sure wish someone would make a model of this
Ford Parklane in 1/43 (and in white metal, please, not resin). You hardly ever see these cars, yet Ford sold three times as many of these than Chevy did with the '56 Nomad!
