America of the 1950s and 60s was fascinated with anything that flew or went into space. It was the beginning of the space age and everyone wanted to be apart of it. It seemed like every car wanted to be a space ship. Arguably, ne car from Mercury may have been the best example. It was the 1957/1958 Turnpike Cruiser. The 1957 and 1958 Mercury Turnpike Cruisers were halo models for the Mercury and they might best be described as the Jetsons meet Detroit. They are remembered for the unique styling cues and wide array of gadgets including a power rear window that could be lowered to improve ventilation, twin jet" air intakes at the upper corners of the front windshield, seat-o-matic" automatically adjusting seat, nd an average speed "computer". The continental kit's official name was "Dream Car Spare Tire Carrier, lso available were "Bubble Skirts", also known as "Cruiser Skirts"). When you look at what was out there at the time, othing comes close to the Cruiser. That beautiful projectile down the side quarters to the taillamps was simply beautiful. The covering over the rear window, he projectiles out of the roof in front, hat amazing windshield, he rear window that lowered behind the rear seat for ventilation, nd those beautiful fender skirts with thin outline molding -- the car was just beautiful. This beautiful restored Merc proves all of these years later, hat these cars were unappreciated in their time; ahead of their time, nd will be given their proper place as valuable classics.
