One of my favorite cars of all time, though I never drove one. In 1957 I thought the wrap-around taillights were epic. This was seen several years ago at an RV park in Tucson. We are no longer RVers, so we won't be going back there again.
My Step Dad traded his '53 Merc in on a '57. I turned 16 that year and my Mom was furious that he didn't offer me the '53. My Step Dad took meticulous care of his cars and the '53 would have been a wonderful first car.

Yes, I drove a brand new '57 Mercury, loaned to me for an hour. The back window was flat and retracted. It must have been the Turnpike Cruiser. Easily topped 100 mph. I was 16.
