This is the one Tired of the Tri 5 chevys or Ford Well the 1957 Mercury TurnPike Cruiser surely fills the bill for rarity and eyeball appea. Most of theGadget Cars from the 50 either rusted out or were thrown away.Didnt make that many. 7000 2 drs produced and most scrapped--few left. With the 368 motor (same as used in the Mrk II Lincolns) the have the power when needed. The 57 Turnpike was a purpose built car, where the 58 was a Montclair. All Power with an electric rollup rear window, dual antennas out the front of the roof for fresh air Vents. And a square top 2 tone steering wheel. So, this car an older restoration.The original metal floors (interior) are as perfect, like new, with original blue factory paint--look at the spare tire well. The motor runs great 368 turnpike motor (out of body compression checks and refresh)--front suspension done, look at the very clean undercarriage-- new gas tank, carb, shocks, new dual exhaust. All moldings removed and polished, and chrome redone.
