What kinda car is that Merc trying to pull out? A ****** or Henry J maybe?
Grill looks like a shoe box Merc but the hood emblem looks like a Ford.

I've no idea
Since the wrecker is a Merc then this shot was probably taken in Canada somewhere, so the car being towed is probably an export as well.
I'm stumped

It`s a Canadian Meteor, same as a Ford but with Meteor badges.
