vilero ◊ 2010-07-28 12:39	Well, it seems that small medallion was in both series Montclair ( see also) and Monterey. The difference I see is the chrome at the lower that I said above. Maybe the taillights we see in the picures is a bad light reflection and that is what confused me. Edited: Paying attention to the pictures in the links, the rear divided window are differents. In '55 there wasn't a Montclair Four-Door (pillared) Sedan like the pic shows, but it was a Monterey. The Montclair four door was the Phaeton 4-door Hardtop...so big dave was right, this is a Monterey -- Last edit: 2010-07-28 12:47:17
