For Sale: 1958 Mercury Turnpike in Collierville, Tennessee

YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS ONE TO BELIEVE IT!

We recently purchased this fully documented 1958 Mercury Montclair Turnpike Cruiser from the original owner and have never seen another like it! One of less than 2900 total produced, this one is the most desirable two door hardtop body style, with fully functioning ELECTRIC ROLL-DOWN REAR WINDOW, and upper windshield "Jet Port" air intakes!

Always kept in a southern garage, this car has NEVER BEEN RESTORED and looks and feels as close to a new 1958 as one could imagine! It wears its original paint, stainless, trim, interior, engine and drivetrain. Actually, the worst flaws we have been able to locate is minor shoe scuffing in the driver side door sill, a small piece of black tape at the bottom end of the driver side seat to cover a small tear in the black vinyl, and a rip in the trunk weather stripping (although an original NOS replacement comes with the car!).

Original translucent red floor mats, all original tri-color upholstery in spotless condition, excellent pit-free chrome on the dash, original carpets, and showing slightly over 57k ORIGINAL MILES (as confirmed by the original owner). The exterior appears to retain about 95% original paint in the original two-tone red and white colors. (The owner show us two small areas, each no more than 6 sq inches, where two scratches were repaired in the early years of the car). Excellent exterior chrome and stainless trim (although I did locate 3 small pits on one of the taillight bezels). No rust or evidence of any previous injuries other than as described above.

The car comes with a set of extra taillight lenses (just in case!), full Mercury service manual set, an extra set of correct wheel covers and a few other items that were collected just in case something ever got damaged on the car! It also includes the original sales receipt, original Mercury Promotional Brochure, extensive history of maintenance invoices, and complete title history from day one (including when the title was transferred from Father to Son when he turned 16!).

Powered by the Marauder 430 ci V8 with 4V carb, push-button automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes, the car runs and drives smooth and powerful. She purrs like a kitten through the factory dual exhaust. And includes Signal-Seeking Radio for entertainment.

This car is a MUST HAVE for those who seriously appreciate the special and iconic cars of the 1950's. A once in a lifetime opportunity to have what is arguably one of the finest examples of this special marke.
