Representing one of the most extensive model changes in history, the 1957 Mercury has a unique styling theme highlighted by graceful, sculptured side projectiles topping low rear fenders and terminating in massive V-angle tail-lights. Entirely new, bigger bodies designed especially for Mercury are wider and longer and roomier, giving more passenger comfort. Overall height has been reduced four inches, yet head room has been increased two inches. A softer ride, better handling and readability result from newly engineered chassis features, which include the industry's first air-cushion rear suspension on many models. A choice of a 255 hp. or 290 hp. V-8 engine is offered in Mercury's 15 new models in Monterey, Montclair and station wagon series. Pictured is the Mercury Montclair four-door sedan. |
