There was one identical to the one in the pics in my neighborhood for a while at a local used car dealer. This one looked the same, but had a trailer brake box on the dash, a leather-covered dash pad, black painted chrome rear window surround, and a pretty good sized dent in the trunk. The chrome decals were the exact same. Who knows, it might be the same car? The Volo museum is nearby here.

"The F-700's and F-800's were available with a 5-spd overdrive and a 5-spd direct drive in 1957,"
Someone that knows!! Have driven both. Did not view the interior, but these usually came with a 2 speed axle.
"However, as far as I know the F-series wasn't available with the 312ci..."
I am thinking the same thing. If it is a 'Y' block, then it is probably the 317ci., which was the truck/Lincoln engine.
I know of several restored mid 50s F700/F800 fire trucks that have the original 317.
"when was the last time you saw a Mercury 383?"
Couple of weeks ago.
"Mercury 383 was part of the MEL V8 big block family of engines (Mercury/Edsel/Lincoln 383/410/430/462)"
Correct............

I actually posted this Car on here awhile back when it was being sold on Autotrader for $50K, by the Volo Auto Museum. I had a feeling it was the real deal, although they didn't have the detailed pics of the Interior and Trunk at the time.
