With an eye to the future, the 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser was way ahead of the times when it debuted. This car is overflowing with unusual styling and intriguing features. Finished in two-tone red and white, the paint is in beautiful condition. The chrome is in wonderful condition and has a brilliant sheen. This is a seriously futuristic car that was built in the 1950s. Inside, the interior complements the exterior perfectly. The two-tone red and white cloth/vinyl seats are in excellent condition and show minimal signs of wear. The seats are also lined with gold piping that give the upholstery a high-class touch. The red carpet, headliner and two-tone doors are all in great condition.

The dashboard complements the exterior as well, and houses some really cool components, such as Seat-O-Matic power seats, AM radio, clock and an ultra-rare tachometer. The Turnpike is powered by a 368ci V8 engine mated to a push-button Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission. It sits elegantly upon a set of 14' wheels. From the Charlie Thomas Collection.
