Some cars evoke an era and perhaps, none more so than the Mercury Turnpike Cruiser of the 1950s. The Turnpike Cruiser joined the American-built Mercury and Canadian-built Monarch lines in 1957 full of the advanced features that appeared on the show car of the same name in 1956. Among those included the wraparound Skylight dual curve windshield, a power-operated retractable “Breezeway” rear window, roof-level air intakes and a unique canopy-style roof which overhung the back window.

Painted a proper 1950s color combination of pink and black over contrasting two-tone cloth interior, this Monarch Turnpike Cruiser is equipped with the Town & Country radio, pushbutton automatic transmission and optional Continental kit. Power steering, brakes, windows and seats are also featured.
