Don't know much about the Medalist except is was an entry level Merc . My guess is , since they were trying to get away from the cheaper Ford and make themselves a more upscale car , the entry level Medalist would have been a low seller .

According to "The Cars of Lincoln-Mercury", they built 11,892 at a base price of $2389. Cool car, '56 Mercs are one of my favorites.

Cool cars
Medalist production numbers were Series 57D - 4 door Phaeton=6685 Series 64E - Sport Coupe Hardtop=11,892 Series 70C - 2 door sedan=20,582 Series 73D - 4 door sedan=6653 This was the model that got the M260 dual quad setup in 1956. Merc did bring the Medalist name back in 1958 for the second and final time. Oldmics |

Love to see a detailed picture of that M 260 setup.
I know a fair amount about the M 260 setup and could tell you if its 100% factory correct or not. Oldmics |

Would love to find one of these. I ended up short on an ebay bid some years back. Got to thinking about one again recently.
