    They forgot this line in their features: "the forward swept lights give the driver the unique ability to stab wayward bicyclists, pedestrians, and the occasion motorcyclist".

      My dad had one like this but I think it was called a Turnpike Cruiser - fender skirts and curb feelers - stylin'.

          Fun fact!

          A Mercury Turnpike Cruiser has a lower shipping weight than a new Challenger.

            My Dad's hot rod in the mid '60's was a '57 Fairlane 500 that he put a 312 from a '56 thunderbird into. They messed with the motor a bit, and I can still remember the sound of that car....I was just a kid. Eventually the need for a more family-friendly ride had him trade it on a '67 Plymouth Fury.

            Any stuff on the Fairlane in that package? I'm sure Dad would think it's a hoot - he still has replacement gold side moldings from the car that he never got installed.
