Beautiful 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser ----one of only 7,291 produced. This road ready car sports a "368"engine with a 3 speed automatic push button transmission along with power steering and new power brakes. With factory "cruiser" fender skirts and an original California plate on the front this beauty is ready to hit the "turnpike". Of course. a sixty year old car does have a few minor issues---the radio, heater, and cable drive tachometer are in need of repair. The speedometer works sporadically and until last week the "memory" seat was working fine.The windshield does have (2) small cracks thatare hard to see and are not in an area that is a problem with line of sight, but, a new windshield is included in sale.The interior is beautiful and the power rear window works flawlessly. The paint is in great condition. This is a very solid car that was built in California and kept in immaculate condition. Within the past few years, the suspension, power steering unit, engine push rods, valve guides and lifters have been replaced. The transmission was rebuilt in 2015 and the truck interior was restored in 2010. Several service manuals and other literature is included. This car is ready to go for summer fun.
