@sizedoesmatter I was well aware of this alien craft long ago, and even though I tried to erase the trauma of seeing it it still lurks somewhere in the nether regions of my memory. I was trying to imagine that a younger person seeing a photo of the car today would assume that the design could not come from a group of human beings, at least not sober one’s. I hope no one in this group will take offense to my remarks, it’s just therapy for me to vent like this. Each individual has their own idea of beauty, even if they are dead wrong. NOTE: Intended ‘humor’.

WANING; Once you see these you will not be able to un-see them!

I'd rather be piloting the Merc.

I LOVE THE MERCRUY!  Yea, a lot of "Bling" (as some have referred it having), but in this case that Bling made a bold statement!  It shouted, "I'm different" from the status quo.  Fifty-Seven model year for me offered three cars that I liked, the Chrysler, the Oldsmobile, and the MERCRUY!

@100ford2003 I have to admit it Steve, the wagon is very nice, pure late ‘50’s vibe, I think I may be coming around!

I absolutely love 1957 Mercs. I must because I have models of them in scales 1/87,1/64/1/43/1/24 and 1/18. Bring em on.

Yikes! For me, this one was tough! Ultimately, considering this is the fifties, I have to disagree with Tony and say, "Too much bling is not enough!" I vote for the Mercury and hope LeRoy Jetson doesn't go bad and try to steal it.

I am not a fan of edder. Pontiac a bit out dated.  Mercury is a bit too much but I like the tail lights.

For me it's the glamorous Mercury over the dull and dreary '57 Pontiac. 

Gents, thanks for your responses.
