Rolling Innovation - The Mercury Turnpike Cruiser

This week we’ll be bringing you our superb finds from Fabulous Fords Forever, like this vintage delight…The Mercury Turnpike Cruiser a rolling masterpiece for its time. Flashy and innovative, the Turnpike had many features that still exist on cars today.A push button transmission was down in the right corner of the dash and is one of our favorite features. What looks like a tach standing alone on the top center of the dash is the Seat-O-Matic. It remembers the seat positions and turn the dial to get the next user's position. Pretty cool!Those fins and v-lights, do you think the other cars had design envy?If you don't have enough air from the 4 side windows, roll down the back.Don't change that Ford dial! There is much more to come from Fabulous Fords Forever.
