The full-size Mercury was redesigned for 1957 and grew considerably
larger as well, riding on an exclusive 122 in (3,099 mm) wheelbase,
elevating Mercury above the new Edsel product line. A new frame
design allowed a lower floor which made the car look lower and
longer. Interior features included a front seat track stop to keep
the front seat back from breaking loose, a new design for the
safety steering wheel, a new radio, and memory power front seats.
The station wagons were divested from the Monterey series, with the
Commuter, Voyager, and Colony Park lines and becoming their own
series called the "Country Cruiser" in 1959. The 312 Ford Y-block
gained 20 horsepower to go with the added weight, and the 290 hp
(220 kW) 368 cu in (6.0 L) Lincoln Y-block V8 became an option.
Early 1957 Montereys had two headlights however later examples were
fitted with four with the turn signals positioned in the headlight
alcove above the headlights. Optional turn signal indicators were
installed above the headlights to signify to the driver that the
lights were functioning.
