Hey y'all,
My shop just got gifted a Mercury Meteor (a school's auto shop program was closing down, and they gave it away insisting it was a Comet). We are trying to figure out what year it is. Anything i should look for that would be a dead giveaway? The door plate reads:
65A W 76 11B 52 5 3
K43F513566
I can post pics if need be. Thanks a million!
-Evan

……..taillights will be bullet shaped sitting in a small fin on top of the fender, four headlights up front, there are some pictures on this site ..try going to mercurystuff.com. there is some info on the data plates for different years & models, you might want to try "the mercury meteor appreciation society" on facebook, they can also be helpful...….the meteor was a fairlane sized model, only made for 1962-63. the comet was based on the falcon, prior to that there might have been a full sized version...only versions in 62-63 was 2 door sedan & hardtop, 4 door sedan, & a station wagon, no convertibles.....for 62 there was a 6cyl. & a 221ci v8, for 63 there was a 6cyl. & a 260ci v8.……production numbers are low, body parts few & far between, mechanicals are plentiful..good luck...……...jg

I was more looking for information to differentiate the Meteor Between its 1961, 1962, and 1963 year models. We are positive it is a meteor, just unsure of the year.
