Don't tell anyone but I actually typed Coronet first and then changed it to Comet - - - I need MORE COFFEE NOW !

FWIW - Pic #3 is the arse-end of it !

I went back and looked again, this time stopping the frame; and do you know what?
I think you're right on the button!
Even to the comment of it looking silly.

(But that's not our business . . . the owner/builder obviously likes it, and really, that's all that matters.
It's one man's interpretation of his vision/dream that makes hot-rodding what it is.)

cor·o·net [kawr-uh-nit, -net, kor-, kawr-uh-net, kor-] Show IPA
noun
1.
a small crown.
2.
a crown worn by nobles or peers.
3.
a crownlike ornament for the head, as of gold or jewels.
4.
an ornament, more or less pedimental in form, situated over a door or window.
5.
the lowest part of the pastern of a horse or other hoofed animal, just above the hoof.

Personally, I question whether this particular Dodge ever deserved definitions 1 thru 4, but with the "modifications" shown in your pics, it rapidly moved towards definition #5 or perhaps more rearward on the animal.....

As for your "insufficiently-coffeed" attempt to rename it as a Comet, maybe your Mercury is just in retro-degrade or maybe you just subconsciously wanted to apply some of the like-named cleanser to it in hopes it would lengthen or just go away.....

I TOTALLY AGREE, Johnboy, but along with his right to build it comes our right to have an opinion about it! At the end of the day, I suppose no one really gives a rat's arse about either but it makes for some fun conversation as long as nobody gets their panties in a wad.....

Whatcho talkin' 'bout Randall?

As far as his build beiing right or wrong, he sure did drive it thru a lot of crowded parking areas in order to finally find a place where most everyone would be at one time during the day. However, he could have parked behind me but no one would have seen it in San Antonio
