Vintage car identification

[meanderingemu]

Good morning.  Going through back images, found this image i hadn't uploaded and it seems i forgot to take image of back side for identification purpose (i just was intrigued by the colour and the chrome)

Any idea of make so i can narrow my search.

 

appreciated

Hmm the front bumper looks a lot like a 1955 Pontiac.

My guess: it's a Christmas tree.

Can you read that sign just above the bumper?

edit: so it's a 1954 Mercury

on side above bumper "fuel injection" so that didn't help me  (i am useless with Cars)

 

 

but the Pontiac timeline will help.  Been able to narrow search on vintage car sales sites...

When I looked at it knew it was a early 50s Ford product.  It is a Hardtop which was the more sporty option.
