The earliest Stingray, in 1963, was the only model-year having a split rear window. Hard to tell for sure, here, but this looks not to have the split up the middle... The upper chrome strip looks uninterrupted.

It's a '67, note the backup light above the license plate.

I knew the real experts would chime in! Doug's correct, it doesn't have the split rear window. I'll happily stand corrected. 🙂

Very nice looking car... It occurs to me that at this time flat two-piece front windshields were on the way out. And flat-head motors too! GM was mostly OHV motors at this time, and didn't they have curved front glass too?

Not sure about GM. This is a 1950 Mercury sedan with "suicide" doors and a flat head V-8.
Very popular for customizing .

Since the photo is titled Crazy bout a Mercury, here’s David Lindley and el Rayo-x doing Mercury Blues live in Germany. I think of this song every time I see a Mercury of this vintage.

At least for V8's both Olds and Caddy brought out OHV V8's in 1949. Buick brought out their OHV V8 in 1952, Pontiac and Chevy in 1954. Ford introduced their first OHV V8 in 1952, in a Lincoln. Ford and Mercury got their OHV V8 in 1954.

It's hard not to be charmed by the optimism behind the names. "Futuramic"

Here are a few shots I did for very good client with an amazing collection of automobiles all from US car makers. I shot these with digital Leica Ms and I shot 62 of his cars out of over 70 in his collection. It is an amazing collection. My lighting was 4 4801 black line Speedotrons with 4 heads each (16 heads) in a 10 X 30 overhead soft box. THis all started in the fall of 17 and I finished last spring. It is probably going to be a book. We are working on that now. Heres jsut a few.
Shows soft box I used for all the cars

Those are perfect.

Moving 180 degrees in the opposite direction from those... Here's a junker abandoned Studebaker, half covered in snow and photographed at night illuminated by pale blue and green flashlight in a two-minute exposure.
