I thank you HelenD.
That was my dad's old car - it was aye good for a run round the Gareloch and it could tackle the Divil's Elbow like a centurion tank. A few cranks o' the starting haunle and it was a world beater. The Mini Cooper was my mum's car and when it wasn't racing round the roofs of Turin it was hammering the likes of Dobbies Loan and Parliamentary Road into submission.

Seven letters across the bonnet, so either Pontiac or Mercury. A wee bit of googling gets us a 1960 Mercury Monterey.

I did a bit of Googling afterwards, and I think it's a 1960 Mercury Montclair - specifically, this 1960 Mercury Montclair:

Wow - thanks for this website link.

Mind you Bo'ness was mentioned so may be it
ought to be 1978 really !
