1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser Convertible - 1:18 Scale Model

Space Age Design for Earth Travel1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser ConvertibleThe “Dream Car Design” It was Tom McCahill in Mechanix Illustrated who called it the “space age design for earth travel”. This fit in perfectly with Mercury’s “Dream Car Design” advertising campaign. First made only as a hardtop Mercury was so pleased with the special convertible they made to be Pace Car for the 1957 Indianapolis 500 that they added the model to the line. In all 1265 convertibles were sold at $4103 each.Futuristic it certainly was. Based on Mercury’s XM Turnpike Cruiser Dream Car it’s “Quadri-Beam” lights were so bright and advanced they were banned in Tennessee and South Dakota. The Turnpike Cruiser featured pronounced headlight brows huge bumpers and “flying-V” taillights. The body was part of Mercury’s horizontal plane styling-longer lower and wider. Precision Engineered to Mercury’s Exact Specifications From its rear opening hood detailed 290 horsepower V-8 engine to the rear Continental Kit spare tire our 1:18 scale 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser Convertible has all the heft feel and looks of the original.
