Spotted today in PB (Pacific Beach part of San Diego) while heading out, and not with enough time to get photos, so, Google Street View to the rescue




I'm pretty sure this is a 64 Mercury Comet

  1. Jesse, it looks like gate hinges on the trunk lid...?

    1. I noticed that in the photos too... I see two bumps in the hood hinge area, and trunk hinge area. Darned if I know! Until I go past there again, all we have is these photos

  2. It is a 1964 Comet Caliente , the strange things on the trunk look to be barn door hinges. The car also has some kind of traction device under the front of the leaf springs. It’s a V8 car because of the five lugs on the wheels, 6cyl. Cars had four lugs.

    1. thank you! It's great to get the benefit of your expertise! I never heard about the number of lugs being a visual indicator for the engine type (6 or 8)
