| Description |
I was impressed with with all the special features on this rare Turnpike Cruiser. I photographed it during my visit to the August Ohio River Rodders Cruise-in at McDonald's in Wheelersburg, Ohio. A Turnpike Cruiser was used as a pace car at the Indy 500. From www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z11885/Mercury-Turnpike-Cruis... "The Turnpike Cruiser was Mercury's top-of-the-line offering in 1957 and 1958. It was a bold car that went against the public's opinion that Mercury only produced conservative cars. They came in either two or four door hard top configuration. Matching their style was their list of standard equipment, which was virtually every power item available. The interior was filled with push buttons. Under the hood was an overhead valve V8 with Holley four-barrel carburetors. The 368 cubic-inch beast produced 290 horsepower. The Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission gently sent the power to the rear wheels. The 122 inch wheels base was delicately held in place by coil springs and semi-elliptic leaf springs. Four-wheel hydraulic brakes provided the stopping power." |
