This is the 1960 Ford Starliner built by Alloway's Hot Rod Shop, as seen in the Video Link attached by KULTULZ.

1946-1948 Canadian Mercury 114. You will notice that the Mercury 114 is built on same 114" wheelbase as the regular Ford Deluxe and Super Deluxe. The "true" Mercury was built on an extended 118" wheelbase. As a result, when you look closely, you can see that the Grille on the Canadian Mercury is much flatter than the regular Mercury (118"). Compare these two closeup pictures of the Grilles. The Canadian Mercury 114 uses the same bumper bar front and rear.

Here is a picture of an Australian 1947 Mercury showing the 1946 Ford Rear Bumper and Bumper Guards that were Factory fitted to all Australia assembled 1946 - 1948 Mercurys. It is unknown why Ford Australia decided to cheapen the car by doing this?

Another Canadian Mercury 114 Grille showing the Mercury Head that is unique to these Canadian Mercury 114 models. The larger Mercurys that were available in the USA, all on a 118 inch Wheelbase didn't have this Symbol. This symbol is unique to the Canadian only Mercury 114 model.

Cover of the Australian Sales Brochure for the new 1958 Fords that were based on the 1956 model. These days, people refer to this model as the "Star Model".

"Monarch Mercury" by R Perry Zavitz. Great book on these Canadian FoMoCo Products. Well worth trying to track down a copy.
