FIN-TASTIC! With its "Boomerang" looking fins, the '59 Mercury still had its own identity and didn't look like a Ford. It would have that honor for one more year. Considering some of the wild styling from General Motors in 1959, FoMoCo actually was conservative with their Mercury this year. This one looks sharp in black.

Never liked the later '50's and early '60's Mercury's after '56. They where some of the uglier looking cars on the highway.
