Very similar but the trim on the Mercury makes it today's winner for me.

The Ford has right hand steering. A special mail route version? Maybe Australian?

But if it has that first ohv V8 under the hood, I'm for it!

Love them both but style and color of Merc wins by a nose.

I'm always partial to the Mercury! But boy! Those 2 pics sure show how basically the same they are!
