I've always wondered what that model was, as obviously, it wasn't a Sun Valley!
That sounds like a newer than 54 model as I have not seen that pattern on any that I've looked at in my vintage ads. Closest I found was this 55 Meteor Crown Victoria (same as a Ford) with the chrome strip over the roof. I have not seen that on a Mercury other than the glass top Sun Valley.
