People who did this car deserve to be mentioned , a work of art to be sure
The car designers had fun in this time ... wow !
It really is a beauty. Thanks for checking it out!
wow that's back when they made good looking cars
Holy shit. That thing is unreal.
Great styling. Just gorgeous. Simply dripping with chrome and a hardtop to boot. Very rare. That $ 100,000 effort shows in the minutest of details. Although I would have preferred the original height the other modifications were tasteful, i.e. the dual brake system with front and rear disc brakes.
This is the most beautiful wagon I've ever seen!
Thank you very much, I appreciate that! It's always nice to hear that someone likes what we're doing.
I had never seen one before either. It just so happens that we found probably the nicest one in the world. Thanks for having a look!
What a beautiful car! those were my favourite American made car years (mid to late fifties) and even though a lot of this wagon was rebuilt or done with some fantasy in mind, it isn't "overdone"...the basic original was kept, such as engine and transmission, the body was also kept original with some first class craftsmanship into it. I really think this screams out loud good taste. Thanks for showing it to us.
Magnificent restoration!
Thanks Jeff. :)
man, that car is beautiful
It would be a pretty sweet surf wagon.
It really is the nicest wagon that I've seen. Thanks for taking a look!
I'd believe that, it looks big enough. It's definitely one of the coolest wagons I've seen. Thanks for checking it out!
Yep, this one is a real beauty. It really as nice as it gets. Thanks for checking it out!
Yep, that baby is as solid as can be. Thanks for taking a look!
The really went over the top with this one. It's probably the coolest wagon that I've seen.
I love ❤ the Paint Scheme 😊
Your voice is easy on the ears, your demeanor is pleasant, not at all obnoxious. The camera work is well done, not at all shaky or irritating. The choice of vehicles is excellent. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you very much, I appreciate that.
Yep, they really went all-in with this one. It sure is a beauty. Thanks for checking it out!
Yep, no expense spared with this one. It sure is a beauty. Thanks for checking it out!
I think you're right, you'll never see another one like it. Thanks for checking it out!
that paint is freaking amazing. it looks like a crazy something a kid would think up almost.
I have told several friends about your channel . You do a great job . I will see ya at fast lane or gateway . Thanks for sharing these great vids. Bought some kids some top fuel models from gateway . I still call them dragsters.LOL Made 2 happy kids . I actually like the tin toy reproductions in the gift shop . Reminds me of the good old days .
Station Wagons are officially cool now
It must have been a labor of love. It sure is a beauty.
I agree, this thing is definitely cool. Thanks for taking a look!
That thing is Super Cool!! Over the Top eh!!☺
I agree, it is pretty awesome. Thanks for taking a look at it!
Thanks for checking it out!
Chrome, chrome and more chrome...gotta love it.
It's hard to imagine ever finding on nicer than this. I like that they rebuilt the motor and trans back to stock specs too. Adding disc brakes was a great idea though. The only way it could have been cooler is if it had come with a 430 Tri-power under the hood.
Beautiful. I’ve never seen one before
Thanks for taking a look at it!
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
They definitely didn't make many. Thanks for taking a look at it!
They definitely are very rare. I wish I could find the production numbers for it. Thanks for taking a look!
It definitely is cool. Thanks for watching!
WOW!!! Beautiful car!!!!! 4 door, hardtop Magnificent!!! Green metallic color!!!👍👍
Now that's impressive. Great restore
Thanks Jos, I appreciate that!
Gorgeous!!. There is some serious work gone into her...
Wow that thing is flawless.
Incredible looking car!
They may have gotten a little carried away with this one. It sure is a beauty though. Thanks for taking a look Matt!
I haven't found the production numbers yet, but there can't be many out there. I don't remember seeing one before.
Absolutely beautiful...
The icon of style! Great job for amazing car!
I can't say that I've ever seen 1 of these. Great video - thanks for sharing!
Mercury's that don't share the ford body are the ones that l like..... thanks Jeff
Thanks for taking a look Mike!
$100,000 in the restoration and up for sale for $80,000...Somebody had a labor of love going and took a big hit.
Very nice looking car. Thanks for sharing
They did a nice job of restoring the wagon. They are very rare here, I seen a 57 Mercury wagon a couple years ago at the Langley car show. 58's were a lot rarer as there was a recession that year.
It is truly a labor of love to spend $100K restoring a $25K car.
The 383 MEL is just a .040 de-stroked 430 MEL.
The MEL, although heavy with a it's 4.900'' bore spacing, the 383 MEL had .430 bore x .330 stroke, that's bigtime oversquare for a passenger car.
Some guy on a MEL blog said he stock car raced his 383 at 7,000 RPM for years, with very little wear detected later by the rebuilder.
No expense spared on that super looking car :)
Beaitiful car. Excellent presentation. My aunt had a 57 or 58 Mercury Turnpike cruiser 2dr, It was a similar color as this one. Once she was going to take my sister and myself shopping or something. We were sitting in the car waiting for her and started to play with the electric windows. Guess what? We wore the battery down so the car would not start! she never knew...
My 1962 Mercury Comet S-22 has the same 4 spoke steering wheel it was part of the S-22 trim package.
...and you can sleep in it. Thanks for watching!
Never have i seen such a beautyfull car 🤟 i had a Granada wagon 76 but this car is so beautyfull and Nice i love it motor wow absolutly powerfull and inside absolut gourgeus it is a awsome wonderfull car 🤟 love it thanks jeff and Jordan for this extreme beautyfull car 🤟
I wasn't familiar with that engine either. They call it a Marauder V8, just like the 428's that came later. Thanks for watching!
Looks like one of a kind. Nice.
Thanks for watching!
That is a beautiful color.... A commuter back in the day, now a days we'd call it a gas hog.... LOL
.
Merrie~Merrie
That has to be a rare car
Sweet car nice paint
Woof, what a wagon.
WOW to cool
Thanks, Interestingly, I started driving when these 58 Merc/ Ford Station Wagons were not desirables ( unless you had Truck farm, or Large Family): I drove a 1959 Dodge V8 Push Button 3 Seater( rear Facing third) from my Grandfather, for two years or more in period 1959-65... my new Driver’s License: good solid large, working car too.....really tough automatic and running gear for small loads.....maybe worse things/ Hobbies to spend 100K on: for 10-20 value car: maybe a 1958 POLICE OR TURNPIKE CRUISER MERCURY WOULD BE EXTRAORDINARY., TOO. GOOD video.
Awesome !!
Really nice car and pro walkaroud buddy !
Rockybilly family style, very nice 😎👸👦👩
Interesting. I always thought the '58 BUICK wagon was over the top for the time in styling now I can add this Mercury. Obviously you had a few bucks to buy these cars back then. I'm a wagon guy and I love to see wagons saved. Most of us grew us in station wagons. I know we did. '62 Plymouth and '68 Ford all the way until 1978 then Subaru wagon LOL.
Yea I Google it no luck,Maybe a viewer will tell you in the future.
Beautiful Commuter wagon man but the transmission was not called Cruise-O-Matic. Mercury called it version of Cruise-O-Matic...... Multi Drive Merc-O-Matic
Saw this car sell at the Mecam Auction...
Yes it's a very rare beauty I'm going to say less made then the Chevy Nomad in 1958.
Nice
First time I have seen this car,
How many were made ?
Could you find the actual color mixing codes of that car?
They use to junk most of these cars when in disrepair.
What a crime.
I saw somewhere where Merc was the only one to make a two door hardtop wagon.
I know that Buick made them also, I have seen them on RUclips.
1957/1958 Mercury wagons (2- and 4-door)
were pillarless hardtops. Mercury was the
first manufacturer to make that style. Others
followed.
@@here_we_go_again2571 Actually, the first hardtop station wagon was the 1956 Rambler. It was a 4 door hardtop wagon, they did not make a 2 door version.
Almost everyone made hardtop wagons in the 50’s Rambler, Buick, Mercury, Oldsmobile, Chrysler,and Dodge and over time they got used and scrapped. Now there rare to see.
all metal no plastic crap
You're holding the camera too close. Move back 3 ft at least.
The front bumper design is practically stolen from a Tucker; with Harold Blankenship blue paint... LOL
It really is a beauty. Thanks for checking it out!
