- Super rare very clean older restored 57 Voyager 2 door wagon. 312 Y Block and Mercomatic.
The car runs and drives great, it was a cold damp morning which made the belt chirp a bit.
Car was srestored 20 years ago, more recently its had some mechanical stuff including new carb, new water pump, springs and shocks, new exhaust, new brakes with uprated master cylinder and booster and new whitewalls.
Only 2283 were built in 57 and not many with the single headlamp, three times as many 57 Nomads were built
I would proudly own AND drive this Car over ANY Car built today!💕
Hellz yes! Except in Winter of course. This needs to be garaged!
Charles Phoenix needs to feature this car.
Pretty cool car. Its got to be extremely rare. I never seen one .
Super cool and super rare..load up the surfboards.👍😎
Back when I was a teenager there was a '57 or '58 Colony Park wagon that was being junked,it had been a fully loaded car when new,power steering, brakes, windows and seats with an early version of a memory seat option, it had the same beautiful steering wheel as the one in this car which I liberated to put in my '61 Ford Falcon 😅😅😅😅😅😅
First 2 door wagon I've seen for that model.Well kept.
I don’t remember ever seeing one of these, and I was around in 57, but it’s a great body style, I’m surprised it wasn’t copied by other manufacturers.
its a great looking car, rarer and cooler than Nomad
That's a rare wagon, you didn't see many even in '57. Mercury was the only U.S. make to offer a two-door hardtop wagon. For '57, there were Commuter (4,885 made) and Voyager (2,283 built) two-door hardtop wagons. Production dropped for '58 - 1,912 for the Commuter and 568 for the Voyager. Only the Commuter was available in two-door wagon form in '59, and it saw only 1,051 copies.
The Voyager name was used once more by Mercury, in 1966 and '67 on Comet wagons. Later, Plymouth took the Voyager name and applied it to a rebadged Dodge Sportsman passenger van in the late Seventies, and later still, from 1984 to 2001 on its front-drive minivans. After the Plymouth name was killed off, the minivans were rebadged into Chrysler Voyagers.
My Mom had that exact model. Same color. Push button transmission (not shown in video) and a weird speedometer (a red stripe that elongated left to right as speed increased). For a heavy car, it had rather astonishing power (I believe the stock motor was a 312 Y block).
You could get a 368 CI Lincoln motor as an option.
This car is the Mona Lisa on wheels. Beautiful!
Stunning- would love it as my surf wagon!!! As cool as the Nomad, but an over the top 50s look that is superb. In college I had a 61 Plymouth Suburban Wagon with a 318 - loved it.
Well, it's really a beautiful example of mid-50's car art, and certainly the owner will be proud of it. On the other hand, two-door wagons never have sold well, for obvious reasons. So, not many around.
Very beautiful car! I love the colors!
Beautiful wagon!
My Dad had one of these in a white and light yellow with tan seats/dash. Imho the Greenish turquoise is prettier than the original blue.
I remember that padded dash (touted as a safety feature) Vehicles were not required to have factory-installed seat belts until 1968.
Wow!!
My buddy just showed me pictures of this car. Said you just got it. Spectacular Automobile 😎👍🏆❤️
Thanks, it’s a lovely old car!
Very very awesome !!
Very cool !
I had a concept idea for a Mercury Monterey "Breezeway" wagon. ;-)
I love it 😀
Narration is a bit thin, but what a well preserved wagon
Ha ha, I let the wagon speak for itself 😀
@@MrMotorama it does an excellent job!
Wow, just wow
Nice!!!!
Where is this rare beast ?
Is it for sale ??
Was the padded dash stock for that car, or was it added later?
Very clean car. I love it
I’m no Mercury expert but I believe the dash is correct for the car though it has been recovered. I have another 57 Mercury wagon, a Colony Park, that also has a padded dash
I have a 57 Monarch and it has a factory padded dash only the base model had it as an extra cost option.
Hello
Do you sell this car?
Flat-wounds!
What's with the blue that turquoise is gorgeous but the blue sucks
WAGONS ARE "STILL" CLASSIER THAN A VAN, OR SUV !
