The *Park Lane* Was Mercury’s Top Of The Line Model For 1959

[@christopherkraft1327]

Wow!!! This 59 Park Lane is amazing!!! It's only original once & this car is stunning, the interior looks like new & the body is straight & dent free!!! Once again your video is exemplary!!! Thanks my friend for sharing this exciting video!!! 👍👍🙂

[@youngexotics2155]

Thanks as always! The car is perfectly straight, but the interior has been redone. Thanks for watching!

[@christopherkraft1327]

@@youngexotics2155 It's beautiful!!!

What a gorgeous car. Fords and Pontiacs were very similar I love the twin headlights Thanks for your video

[@georgeursitti6549]

Had a 59 Bonneville convertible and a 59 Parklane 2d HT.....Loved them both...

[@garywilson12]

love it original, leave it just like it is, no paint either my favorite year of mercury

[@richardrice8076]

Just to stir the pot, I think the '57's were prettier 'specially the Turnpike Cruiser. But in the end tomatoes tomahtoes you can't go wrong with either one. The '58's? Not so much.

[@robertdryburgh1457]

Very rare car. There were very few around here in Winnipeg when new for some reason. Plenty of 57 and 58s then 1961 and up however 59 and 60s were scarce as hens teeth. Nice original example. Nice fully restored but better this way. Excellent video presentation as usual.

Only ever 4060 produced in 1959, not many left, 3 in Norway

[@garytraynor2921]

Our neighbors had this same model...white with a gold interior. It was beautiful

If I were a car buyer in 1959 I would buy a Mercury any day over the Buick or Chrysler.

[@DennisShook-k7w]

Best looking merc of the fifties.

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

Except for the 1954!

[@Tfontaine209]

Crazy gorgeous 😍

[@billwood6168]

The ol girl is looking mighty good!

[@vincestilla]

Not really a Ford fan but this Merc is awesome.

[@richardrice8076]

Another European exotic by way of Detroit. Love the speedo conversion chart! The Europeans love their '50's big iron!

[@jackgoldstein2254]

Beautiful car!

[@frankwood7878]

THE STYLING IS OVER THE TOP. LOVE THE FRONT END & REAR END STYLE

[@davidbroughall3782]

I know you want it to look like the survivor it is, but at least take a chamois to it to get the dried water drops off it.

[@mortennordmo]

We got a heavy rainshower on the way to the show, sorry

[@BrianPatterson-eg2rs]

Gorgeous... Imagine it restored

[@BusterTucker]

She really deserves a new paint job in a pearl white metallic or a deep metallic silver!

[@richardrice8076]

NO

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too damned many white cars were built, and not enough blacks. No color befits the stately elegance of this car better than Tuxedo Black. LEAVE IT ALONE.

[@BusterTucker]

@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602if you live in Phoenix Arizona you don't want black 25° hotter than white, black also shows more imperfections a nice metallic pearl white or like yellow

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

@@BusterTucker I grew up around white cars. They SUCK... all the thousands of them. White is a non-color. Black cars only show imperfections on those owned by people who don't know how to take care of them. Metallics oxidize and turn to dull sandpaper. Silver is the new white: all the trash coming off today's assembly lines is gray, silver, beige, white or other uninspiring colors, preferred by people who lack adventure and imagination. It's no wonder kids today have no interest in cars. Besides, metallic white didn't exist in 1959, so that would be as lame as pouring chocolate syrup on sauerkraut.

[@BusterTucker]

@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602 Well for that 1959 Merc ya gotta do flat aqua However they do have Matellic today and that car in a matallic Burgundy or cobalt blue would be awesome!

[@rick0e295]

Beautiful example of Mercury at the pinnacle of magnificent 50s OTT excessive luxury ✨. Parents had friends who had one almost like this, but seem to recall it had special trim on rear upper roof and badged as TURNPIKE CRUISER? 🤔. Have had several GRAND MARQUIS and TOWN CARS. All great cars! 🏆. SO sad Ford killed them both! Will drive my 2007 Signature Limited as long as I can. 🏆. 💖

[@nonelost1]

Some elderly friends of mine who have since passed on, had a 2003 Grand Marquee Ultimate Edition. When the husband went into an adult family home, I became a daytime home companion to the wife, which included driving her around in that car for two years (before she went into assisted-living). That thing was a dream to drive!

[@robfmas]

Look at that roofline. Sick.

[@elisandrosaenz7242]

MIGHT BE MY PHONE, BUT NO VIDEO JUST DA CRAZY MUSIC WHICH I ENJOY. I OWNED ONE 59 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BACK IN 1968; OLIVE GREEN IN COLOR. BEAUTIFUL QUIET RIDE CLEAN AS NEW INSIDE & OUT; TOO BAD I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER TO APPRECIATE WHAT I HAD AND GOT RID OF IT AWFUL CHEAP. WON'T SAY HOW MUCH ,CUZ IT'S EMBARRASSING NOW.🙄🤦

Nice, just a hand of paint.
