    I was thinking the same thing. It should be darker.

    The passenger side front door guard strip looks different than the rest of the car. I think it’s been replaced. It’s still a nice car though!

    The woodgrain has definitely been replaced (I own on of these, I know).

    I'm always suspicious of replacement woodgrain. Unless it's a high quality reproduction of the original, you can't tell what the quality is.

    Yes the original factory wood grain would have been darker. Still very nice looking.

    Definitely new woodgrain. Also did not replace emblems when it was done. Should have “Colony Park” script on lower rear quarters as well as tailgate emblem.

    "look at the upholstery" I like it - reminds of heavy Haggar polyester leisure suit that I used to sell.

    At that price, I think this one is a deal for a fun weekend cruiser. Interior is neat, and I love the Mercury models....it's basically a Lincoln wagon.
