1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser – A Rare Jet-Age Classic

This 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser is a rare, meticulously maintained example of a true mid-century automotive icon, featuring a rebuilt 368 ci V8 with hardened valve seats for unleaded gas, a smooth push-button Merc-O-Matic transmission, and stunning tri-color paintwork in Tan/Cream professionally resprayed. It boasts classic 1957 Turnpike Cruiser styling—compound curved windshield, flush-mounted taillights with gold-anodized wing-like accents — all complemented by a luxurious Jet Age interior with leather split bench seating and advanced power features. This car represents the high point of Mercury's design “as America's most changed car” in 1957, combining innovative technology with Jetsonian flair.
