Mercury was not to be left behind in the concept car "wars" - Mercury built ONE Turnpike Cruiser in 1955 and showed it off in 1956 - I don't like Fords BUT I would drive this . . .
But Wait - There's More!
Mercury took from the concept car what they could incorporate into a production model and then proceeded to build the 1957 "Turnpike Cruiser" . . .
Again - I don't care for Ford(s) - but I would drive this one . . .
Don't know about you folks but I miss the glory days of the auto industry - the mad rush from one dealer to the next to see the new car offerings - Now?? - not so much - it is now a matter of how much polish can we ( a given car maker ) put on a turd - when the day is done a polished turd is still just a polished turd . . .
Have Fun! - Run the Gun! - and remember - Fish Heads are Cheap!!
