Re: 1953 Mercury Monterey
The Comets were popular in the Commonwealth countries since they were mostly a Canadian thing to start with. They didn't show up in the US till much later. My Pop bought a 1960 US built Comet and found that it was just too much a slug for him. The first US Comet was supposed to be an Edsel product but that changed when the Edsel was dropped from the Ford line. Those first US cars were based on the Falcon and were only available with the little 144 6-cylinder with a whopping 85 or 90 HP depending on who you believe. With the 2-speed automatic it was a real dog. Pop traded that car for a 1962 US production Mercury Meteor car with a 260 V8. It had a little more poop than the Comet did plus it had an add on AC unit.

It’s nice to have a 4 door when you’re riding around with friends
