I think the US version of the car was named the ‘Turnpike Cruiser’. The car and camper is a helluva package.

The U.S. equivalent was the 1959 Mercury Park Lane four door hardtop, 128" wb., 430 ci V8 engine standard.

Probably won't see another one real soon. Very nice.

I mostly agree, except that I would put the word "extremely" before the word "cool".  The car's from an era when 4 door hardtops looked even better than 2 door hardtops. Given the car's rarity and the package deal offered, I think the price is very reasonable, but I admit I don't know much about pricing on this stuff. I get the impression both the car and trailer would clean up pretty well. If I was Canadian, I would definitely go look.

For 1959, Mercury had dropped the "Turnpike" moniker from the "Cruiser" which now designated the pillarless hardtop body styles which had been called "Phaeton" since the 1956 model year.  The unglamourous two and four door styles with the permanent upper door and window frames were still just "sedans"...

Unfortunately, the pictures disappeared, and now

we can't even see this one!

 

Evidently, merely copying and pasting pictures from an ad

doesn't keep the photos for very long.  I have saved pictures

from ads into my computer as JPG files;  then, using our

forum's "Choose Files" selector, put them into a posting;

and they have stayed.

 

It's great when our "Not Mine" section can be a long-lasting

reference with pictures and phone numbers.  I've called

about cars long after I first saw an ad--5 years, even--

and found the car still available!
