If you have any questions Please feel free to call me as our phone company is making changes to the internet connections in our area here. If you email a question I probably will not get it right away. They said it maybe today or tomorrow that it will come down, and it will be down for four to five days?? Bob 817-861-6904 Thanks. Up for consideration is a absolutely stunning 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser 4 door hardtop. The Turnpike Cruiser was the Flagship of the Mercury lineup in 57-58 Car starts and runs perfectly. Car is really fine, Don't think a nicer one is out there. Car is a solid West Texas car very dry and always garaged no rust or rot. Interior is very good there is wear from feet at the bottom of the drivers door panel inside. Paint is very good condition. Has the clear plastic on the seats for protection. Stainless and chrome inside and out doesn't have the pitting as most cars of this vintage have with the exception of the rear license plate accessory panels which are always pitted and were a dealer factory option at the time. In fact most collector's hate me for it as they spend a fortune having things replated or polished out, she is a very clean machine. Car was stored for twenty four years in a closed down Department store across from Bonanza actor Dan Blockers parents general store in O'Donnell with black washed windows from 1985 through 2009 when I got it. O'Donnel which is 50-60 miles south of Lubbock. Car was purchased new from Lynn County Tractor Sales, Mercury Sales Division in Tahoka Texas by Warren D. Smith in 1957 he owned the car til 1985 and sold it to his sister who loved the car but only put new tires and parked it after only driving it 200 miles which is certified on the title on 1/7/86. I purchased the car in April 09. The tires in which she put on new then had sat so long in the store they had flat sides to them although treads were as new. Radio does not work. Think it needs a new vibrator tube. All lights work including turn signals and brake and horn. Lenses all good no cracks or repairs. Tachometer and gauges all work as well. Push button start and shifting. Car has been gone through. Engine was rebuilt in Sept 2009 new motor mounts as well. Transmission serviced also new U-joints. I do have receipts for all work done. Car still has the original factory grease pencil marks on the underside of the hood and firewall. 60 Amp Generator New gas tank. Cruiser skirts with correct hardware (Trim) Carb rebuilt as well Front end rebuilt Brakes are new all the way around as well as Treadle Vac rebuilt by Dallas Power Brake. Rear springs re-arched. New Coker wide white radials. One small ding in rear bumper that has effected chrome on upper edge of the top half of the bumper but not bad. If you want to come and see it and we can take her out for a spin. Car is for sale locally so I do reserve the right to pull if it sells. Please e-mail any questions or concerns about the car and I will respond. From the ones I have seen on Ebay this one is by far the finest. If you would rather talk on the phone please e-mail and I will give you my number. Thanks for looking. Car is very roadworthy. If you have wanted one this is one you should consider. No disappointments here! Bob Below is a NADA Book offering on value.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans
Tue, Nov 24 2015Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
