The car in the movie is a 1953 Mercury Monterey with a 125 HP V8. This is the gross horsepower as measured at the time; by modern measurement standards this engine put out about 85 HP. Not enough to pull a three ton trailer up a steep slope! For the long shots of the car pulling the trailer up the hill, a 1953 Lincoln Capri with a 205 HP V8 was substituted. The two cars shared many mechanical and body components, but the Lincoln had a longer wheelbase and distinctly different rear quarter sheet metal. The side spear on the Lincoln was painted body color, and a phony side spear painted along the side of the car several inches higher to match the real one on the Mercury. A Mercury hood replaced that of the Lincoln; miscellaneous other trim pieces were added. Compare these photos: Photo 1: The Mercury.  Photo 2: The Lincoln.  |
