1959 Mercury Country Cruiser Colony Park

This Mercury Colony Park left the Wayne, Michigan Assembly Plant with a 383-cubic-inch V-8 factory-rated at 322 horsepower and a Merc-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. It came equipped with power brakes, power steering, and its turbine-style full-wheel covers were wrapped with wide whitewall tires. A tinted Panoramic Skylight Windshield wraps over the roofline and around the sides. There is a two-tone interior with jet-styled instrument cluster and optional push-button AM radio, power windows and locks, and a power-retracting tailgate window. The optional third-row Stow-Away folding seat gives this wagon a nine-passenger capacity, and a roof-mount luggage rack augments over 90 cubic feet of interior cargo space with below-deck hideaway compartments.
