1953 Mercury Monterey
The Long, Long Trailer (1954)
Paedia US
Colorado Bill wrote 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.

Wouldn't it have been easier to drop the 317 into the Monterey?

1950 Studebaker Champion
The Long, Long Trailer (1954)
Commander 57 USI hate to backtrack on myself, but I now believe this is a Champion.
The bumpers have the taller, thinner Champion style guards.
Either incorrect tail lamp lenses were used or the photo just makes it seem like there are "knobs" on the lenses.

Commander 57 USTrue, and the fact they have small "knobs" at the top and bottom of the lenses show this to be a Commander, not a Champion. 2010-02-06 17:34
1953 Mercury Monterey
The Long, Long Trailer (1954)
Colorado Bill USThe 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.
