Mercury under the tutelage of the Ford Motor Company, the Colony
Park is an American luxury full-size station wagon that was
produced between 1957 and 1991. Serving as the flagship, and more
exclusive, station wagon series of the Ford Motor Company, the
Colony Park was marketed against the similar Chrysler Town &
Country prior to its 1979 downsizing, and GM's Buick Estate and
Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. Distinguished by its simulated
wood-grain paneling, the Colony Park was marketed as either the
premium-trim or the sole full-size station wagon offering of the
division. The Colony Park was trimmed and shared a chassis with the
similar Mercury Turnpike Cruiser, which was positioned above the
Mercury Monterey. To differentiate itself from Ford (and Edsel)
models, all Mercury station wagons were given hardtop rooflines.
The 1957 Colony Park also offered a rear window that retracted into
the tailgate, which was not offered on Ford-branded station wagons
until 1961. The interior featured several comfort and convenience
features, like an electric clock, vinyl upholstery, full passenger
compartment carpeting, chrome window surround moldings, rear side
vent windows, and simulated woodgrain vinyl body side trim. Extra
flair has always been a Mercury station wagon trademark and this
concept is not lost on the Colony Park presented here. Claiming the
debut model year of 1957, this Mercury Florida long roof station
wagon has lots of bells and whistles. Boasting an upgraded crate
351ci Windsor V8 and C6 automatic transmission, this wagon is ready
to hit the road. With enhancements like an Edelbrock intake and
carburetor, Airlift rear suspension, power steering and Vintage
Air, this wagon continues to supply all the comforts that Mercury
initially wanted all its station wagons to encompass. With exterior
styling featuring turquoise paint over a two-tone interior, this
Mercury Colony Park could be considered quite a sporty, family
vehicle. Including classic white wall tires and a signature roof
rack, adventure is bound to be waiting for this station wagon. The
timeless black and white interior upholstery beckons to a simpler
time where road trips were king. In additional to all the
traditional options that were included from the factory, the
previous owner has updated this wagon with a retro Bluetooth stereo
so anyone can sing their heart out. Yes, you could purchase a more
popular SUV, but why not stand out from the crowd with this unique
station wagon. Regardless of whether you are planning your next
trip to Wally World or just a trip to the grandparent's house, this
Colony Park will be sure to add plenty to any road-worthy journey.
We hope that you consider this great vehicle for your next
purchase. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific
questions. Thank you for looking.
