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.

Wow! There is like 2 cars' worth of stuff going on there!
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.
what a great looking car! Parents had one ...very special!
Love the '59 Merc, that is gorgeous.
