1957
1957 was a big year for Mercury, which saw a dramatic restyling of all of its models and a move upward in the market to compete with cars such as the Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Super, and Oldsmobile 98. Mercury's new styling bore no resemblance to any previous models and likewise shared no body parts with either Ford or Lincoln, from whom Mercury had borrowed heavily in the past and the result was a new line of sleek and attractive new vehicles that proved to be greatly popular with the public. During this time Mercury was also the only auto manufacturer to produce two- and four-door hardtop station wagons, an elegant feature that was lacking amongst their contemporaries. Production run of only two short years and with just 2,283 built.
