    Same collector has owned this car since the late 1980s! California car, clean body and floors. Believed to have 69,500 original miles.
    The Turnpike cruiser was Mercury's flagship model. Built to commemorate the creation of the Interstate highway system. Each was fitted with advanced features like a retractable rear window, compound curved windshield and a trip computer.
    EXTERIOR: The paint is over 40 years old. I think that says alot about the integrity of the body. It is laser straight with no rust or bubbles. The paint still shows very well. A few nicks touched up and a good buffing would make it beautiful. The chrome is bright and shiny and there is plenty of it, look at the size of the front bumper! Unique features include a retractable "breezeway" window, air inlets at top corners of windshield, continental kit and cruiser skirts. Has a unique front roof line at the windshield. Rocket style taillights and marker lights on the roof are cool.
    INTERIOR: Original interior is in good shape. Has a small split at a seam on top the driver seat. Has padded dash, flat top steering wheel, chrome ribbed headliner, push button trans and starter.
    ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Has the optional bigger 430-360 hp motor. Runs smooth. It also features power steering and brakes. Clean and proper under the hood.

I forget which auction site or classic dealer was showcasing it. That was one cool air cleaner topping the big MEL engine. ; )

    What an absolutely, beautiful 1958 Merc. I am really, partial to the 1956 Cadillac 60 Special Fleetwood. But what a pretty 1958 Mercury you have, as all of your cars are. Must be hard to have to sell them. But I'm sure, that you don't have room, to kerp them all. I can't see well enough to drive anymore, but I may buy one of yours someday, even if I can only drive it, on my small farm. Thanks for the videos, of all of your beautiful cars.

    The 59 Monterey had a much more attractive grill to my eye and more flowing wrap around type front and rear window and would have the potential for a time period show stopper.
    Perhaps a powder blue and frost white motif throughout.

    My goodness those continental extensions actually hurt my eyes. Sort of pre runner to the mandated five mile per hour bumpers in 73.
    Otherwise might come in under the radar but that tacked on three foot tail treatment has me passing on this example.
    There was a car similar to this on twilight zone that this lady drove and kept picking up the same hitch hiking guy.

    No offence intended but it would help preserve the motor if you gave the oil a chance to circulate before you revved it. Also let the engine idle longer before switching off the ignition as you can get fuel wash in the cylinders which can seep last the piston rings and into the crankcase.
