That's a stock '47 or '48 Mercury--the '46 (and, actually, the first few months of '47 production, as I recall) is almost exactly the same, except for the frame of the grille, which was painted the body color on the earlier cars and had a longer chrome strip on the hood. The camera does make the car look a little "squashed"--

Have a good trip, ER.
