1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser on 2040-cars
Arlington, Texas, United States
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.

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury
Mon, May 14 2018Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:
