Mercury underwent its most extensive redesign in a decade for 1957 and for the first time since 1940 did not share body shells with Ford. Dubbed Dream Car Design, the new Mercs had flamboyant styling on a wheelbase stretched three inches to 122 inches. The 4,125 pound convertible cruiser was fitted with a new 368 cubic inch motor, a four-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust and 9.75:1 compression ratio. It was rated at 290 bhp at 4600 RPM and 405 foot pounds of torque at 2800 RPM. A plaque on the right rocker arm cover identified it as a Turnpike Cruiser Engine. The cruisers used a Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission with a, new for 1957 Keyboard Control Panel. This Pace Car was one of only 1,265 Turnpike Cruisers built and carried a list price of $4,103. Somewhere between 700 and 1000 of those (or all of those since there are no exact records) came with Pace Car Applique Kits if you so opted to dress your car up like the original one that appeared at Indy. Some dealers did so to attract attention at their stores while others thought it to "garish" to drive down the elm-lined streets in 1957 suburbia looking like they should be in a Sal Mineo film. This is a body-off restoration. This car is equipped with every option including rear factory air conditioner. All Pace cars were painted Sun Glitter (Light Yellow) and all were fitted with the Dream Car Spare Tire Carrier. For only the second time in history Mercury was selected as the Pace car for the Indianapolis 500 Race on May 30, 1957. Francis C. Jack Reith, General Manager of Mercury drove the Convertible. 1957 marked the first time a Pace Car would actually lead two laps around the Brick Yard before the race to give the cars additional time to warm up.
