The Mercury Turnpike Cruiser is a full-size automobile that was the flagship model of the Mercury division of Ford Motor Company for the 1957 and 1958 model years. Named after the 1956 creation of the Interstate Highway System, the Turnpike Cruiser was produced in two-door and four-door hardtop bodystyles. In 1957, a two-door convertible was also produced, serving as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500 of that year.(Wikipedia) I photographed this at a classic car show last September. Compared to today's cars this thing was like a boat. I remember all the cars from the late 50's and early 60's in this two tone turquoise combo that was so popular and with those big rear fins. Something a bit different from me - it must be Wacky Wednesday.
