This is the finest '57 Merc I have ever seen! I am amazed at the condition and especially the padded dash. This is the first '57 Mercury (restored or otherwise) I have seen with the dash in tact and not a warped, pulverized mess! This car is a rolling treasure!

That is a beautiful car for some reason I have seen 3 videos on turnpike cruisers today and I'm falling in love with those cars and yours has the gold on the sides which really tops it off. The steering wheel on that car is so big and looking at the video it's almost as if you're driving a truck and when you turn the wheel it takes so much turning as opposed to a car today. Is very nice example

I know a guy who's looking for a windshield for this type of car. If anybody out there can help him because it's a gorgeous car as well. They put a lot of work to bring this car back. Just like this black one that we just watch. Absolutely beautiful cars.

my uncle always bought black tp cruisers. from 57 on. then in late 60's marauders. the oblong steering wheel and rear window were the favorite toys. he smoked cigars so that car was perfect for him. smoke got sucked out of the rear window.

This vehicle does have a TREMENDOUS amount to say, kind of like an encyclopedia for those who never got that trip to the moon. The rear gridwork within the bumpers brings back memories of the persistent problems of FISH getting caught in intake ducks to the first NUCLEAR power plants in NY/Hudson River..

You could opt for a red reflector in that gridwork space, too. My dad had a '57 Montclair (medium level) 2-door hardtop and he had the reflectors. Looked better than the stainless grid.

My dad's 1958 Mercury Parklane had "Power by Thunderbird" on the factory valve covers, unlike GM in the 1970s when they were shamed for having chevy 'Corporate GM" engines in their Olds and Buick midsize cars; I alway sremeber that FoMoCo on any Lincoln-Mercery was nothing to be ashamed about.

You must be somewhere in Europe and not North Carolina (like your license plates) since I see you drive on the other side of the road. I'm in NC and when I was just past driving age there was a black 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser parked next to Liner's Store, just abandoned and deteriorating. I stopped and looked at it, but never pursued buying it since I was so young. But it was a gorgeous car, all in black like this one, but I think it was a 2-door. It even had the original upholstery protected by clear plastic covers. This was the late 1970s, as I recall. I was too young and I always regretted not trying to buy that car and restore it. So is your car from NC too?

Hi, Yes the Mercury was a 3 family owned car from new and stayed in the NC area. I imported it to UK in 2014 and sold it in the summer of this year 2016. It was all original and in great condition, it too had the plastic seat covers on the original seats still fitted until I removed them last year. I had a lot of fun with it and it was featured on the front cover and in Classic American magazine in 2015. www.classic-american.com

In 1957 some states did not allow quad headlights hence some 57 Turnpike cruisers only had two headlights fitted. 57 Mercury also had different dash and trim design to the 58.
