Good, bad, or indifferent, Pennsylvania is known for a lot of things. It offers culinary delight in scrapple, cheesesteaks, and pretzels from Philly, just for starters. It\u2019s home to the Liberty Bell, the Steel City, eight professional teams in five major leagues, and a little place called Three Mile Island. Dubbed \u201csideways Indiana\u201d by professional east-west travelers, the state is also known for its 360.1-mile-long turnpike. When opened to the public on October 1, 1940, the then-marvel of modern transportation became the benchmark for future superhighway design and construction. Fitting, then, that we spotted this 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser at another Pennsylvania staple, the AACA Eastern Fall Meet<\/a> held each October in Hershey. <\/p>\n

Arguably, the Turnpike Cruiser<\/a> was Mercury\u2019s halo car when unveiled for 1957. Factory literature boasted it was the \u201cmost dramatic expression of Dream-Car Design,\u201d available \u201cwith exclusive features no other car offers.\u201d Like its Skylight Dual-Curve windshield that provided extra ambient light and greater forward vision. At the top of each A-pillar were \u201croof level air intakes\u201d linked to individual driver and front passenger controls mounted above the dash. And aside from dramatic new styling, there were canted C-pillars and a three-piece rear window: the \u201cexclusive Breezeway Ventilation\u2013the newest advance in draft-free, fresh air comfort\u201d made possible by lowering the wide center pane into the bodywork behind the rear seat. It was power operated, of course, as were the side windows; just a few standard equipment items that made the Turnpike Cruiser one of the most gadget-ladened, mid-market cars offered that year, aptly named for the luxury travel it provided.<\/p>\n

Automotive journalists drove test mules <\/span>just <\/span>as production <\/span>launched<\/span>, <\/span>most <\/span>of whom<\/span> looked upon the space-age styled<\/span> Mercury with favor. I<\/span>n its March 1957 issue<\/span>,<\/span> Motor Trend<\/em><\/span> reported <\/span>fine handling<\/span>, thanks to the <\/span>Air-Cushion suspension system,<\/span> and 0-60 times of 9.9 seconds<\/span> that, <\/span>along with ampl<\/span>e<\/span> passing acceleration, <\/span>was <\/span>attributed to the <\/span>also-standard 290-hp 368-cu.in. <\/span>V-8<\/span> that lurked below the hood.<\/p>\n

Available as a two-door hardtop, convertible (which was selected to pace the Indianapolis 500<\/a>), and our featured four-door hardtop sedan, and costing an average of $576 more than equivalent, base-equipped Montclairs, sales expectations were high. Unfortunately, 1957 was met by a recession. Turnpike Cruiser production numbered 16,861 units in total, including 8,305 four-door hardtops; the line\u2019s best seller. <\/p>\n

Costing $3,849 without option when new (or $42,160 in 2023 currency), this sedan benefitted from what appeared to be an excellent restoration, finished in a typical late-Fifties two-tone motif (tri-tone was also available). Though the \u201chighway hugging profile\u201d was decorated with morning dew, it was easy to see the shine the exterior trim offered; even the bumpers were devoid of scuffs of nicks from turnpike cruising. Similarly, the inviting two-tone all-vinyl interior had potentially benefitted from careful maintenance or minimal use. Sadly, deal-making details were lacking, yet it was clear the captivating mid-market cruiser was there to sell, its $28,900 asking price on par with condition #2 value guides. And at nearly half the original cost (factoring inflation), it doubled as a bargain buy. <\/p>\n
