Yeah they also made the Comet, which was what I meant. Like this....

I had a Simca, like this one.....

My Gramps had a '51 Mercury, four door, suicide rears, 3-on-the-tree w/overdrive. Like this....
After he died Gramma sold it on the sly to a stranger for a song to keep the peace amounst the all men and boys in the family. Tragic.
