Comparing 52 and 53 Mercurys
A discussion on facebook concerning the differences between 1952 and 53 Mercs inspired me to shoot some video of mine showing all the minor differences I could find. If I missed any, blame it on the cold. It was around 0 degrees at the time and my hands got a bit cold.

Re: Comparing 52 and 53 Mercurys
Ralph thanks for the tour, my Dad had a '53 two door, black with a red-orange roof, sharp looking car when it was all polished up. He towed a boat with his, I remember all four of us kids climbing in the back seat to go to the lake, trunk full of picnic supplies, on the way home my Mom would hang our swim suits from the antenna to dry. Ah the memories.

Re: Comparing 52 and 53 Mercurys
Took me a while to find my way back there but I think this link should take you to the post on the 52-54 Ford/Mercury/Lincoln facebook page.

Re: Comparing 52 and 53 Mercurys
Does anyone have a part number for the terminal block covers?

Re: Comparing 52 and 53 Mercurys
There does not seem to any consistent rule to which 52 and 53 cars have those junction block covers. I have watched several videos on youtube and some have them, some don't.

Re: Comparing 52 and 53 Mercurys
Ralph, I studied your video, but couldn't recognize anything to clear up my foggy memory of my parents Merc, I believe to have been a '54: It had a feature I know was original to that car, but I've never seen another, having a simulated Sun Valley roof, painted green forward of a trim strip across the top, effectively making it a 3 tone paint job. I've always wondered what that model was, as obviously, it wasn't a Sun Valley!
