1957 MERCURY COLONY PARK WAGON. THIS IS A VERY RARE WAGON WITH ONLY A HANDFUL ON THE ROAD TODAY. THIS WAS THE TOP
OF THE LINE WAGON FOR MERCURY. THIS EXAMPLE IS LOADED WITH OPTIONS. FACTORY OPTIONAL 368 TURN PIKE CRUISER ENGINE,
PUSH BUTTON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER STEERING, BRAKES, WINDOWS, SEAT, REAR WINDOW, ROOF RACK, DUAL TURN PIKE
CRUISER MIRRORS, TOWN AND COUNTRY RADIO, PADDED DASH AND DUAL HEADLIGHTS.
THIS IS A CALIFORNIA CAR WITH NO RUST OR REPAIRED PANELS. ALL FLOOR PANELS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR AND IN PERFECT
SHAPE. PAINT IS 5 YEARS OLD AND STILL SHOWS WELL. REAR QUARTER WINDOWS RECEIVED NEW WEATHERSTRIPPING AND SEALING.
MOST ALL CHROME WAS REDONE AT THE SAME TIME.
THE INTERIOR WAS REDONE TO ORIGINAL. ALL MATERIALS AND THE NEW DOOR PANELS CAME FROM SMS. ALL FLOORS WERE REPAINTED
AND THE NEW CARPET WAS BOUND ON THE EDGES FRONT AND REAR AS ORIGINAL. THE ORIGINAL DASH PADS ARE THE BEST ORIGINALS
I'VE EVER SEEN.
THE ENGINE WAS REDONE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER AND RUNS LIKE NEW. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION GONE THROUGH ABOUT 5 YEARS
AGO. ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE PUSH BUTTON WORK CORRECTLY. ALL SUSPENSION, BRAKES WERE DONE AT THAT SAME TIME,
I HAVE MANY N.O.S. ITEMS NOT YET INSTALLED. I HAVE NEW GOLD TRIM FOR BOTH SIDES, NEW TAILGATE LOCK UNIT FOR THE
POWER WINDOW, AN N.O.S. CLOCK ALONG WITH MANY SPARE PARTS.
I'M SURE IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS WAGON YOU REALIZE JUST HOW RARE IT IS, NOT TO MENTION THE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
IN RESTORING AND FINDING ALL THE BEST PARTS. THIS WAGON TOOK BEST OF CLASS AND BEST OF SHOW AT OUR LOCAL MUSTANG
SHOW FIRST TIME OUT. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW ONE?
