Description
A late 1957 Mercury, the later ones like this are easily identified by the 4 headlight configuration, whereas the early 57's have just 2.Taken on my friends property among 400-500 other classic cars.

I have a 2 headlight 57 Monarch. Only 48 of 50 States allowed 4 four headlights on cars.

I'm always looking for awesome places to take models for photos, this car alone with the tree in it would be awesome.

*typhlosionskingdom is right. I believe the four light set up was made 50 states legal for the 1958 model year.

Late in 1957 4 headlights were legal in Canada, and a few of the manufacturers picked them up, by 58 they were almost all 4 headlight cars.
In some parts of the US and all of Canada there were cars in the later half of 57 with 4 headlights like the 57 Mercury and Cadillac (look up 1957 El Dorado and Seville)

It was a kind of patchwork set of rules back then.

That's right, not until later in the year according to my books.
