The car then rolls down a hill, crashes, and explodes, that is the one with the Mercury grill and LTD headlights. Wasn't sure if there was a separate model for Mexico that would be built like that. In Canada, they had non-hidden headlight Mercury Meteor during 1975-1978, when all the US got was the Marquis.
