What was that Mercury?

[Guest]

OK, I'm dying to know what was that Mercury my Dad drove when I was a kid. I was born 1956 and when I as about 4-5 years old I remember this beautiful black Mercury he drove with the most beautiful red leather interior. The front seat-backs folded on an angle and had these red leather horizontal rope-like pull handles. My Dad kept his cars a long time and I think this was a 1950's Merc. It was large and boxy. If anyone knows what it could be could you e-mail me at: server@webtv.net? Thanks to anyone who responds!
