This beautiful all original Mercury was ordered by Mrs. Alva J. Turnbull and delivered to Francis Lincoln Mercury in Portland, Oregon on October 22, 1958. She traded in a 54 Hudson and paid for the remainder in cash. The car was ordered with many options such push button radio $100.00, power steering $107.50, padded dash $21.50, visual aid group $57.00, wheel covers $12.90, contrasting moulding area $10.80, merc-o-matic $225.80, heater-defroster $91.40, WSW rayon tires $41.00, courtesy light group $10.80, foam cushions $21.50, and the very rare aluminum projectile applique $10.80 which I haven't seen on any other Mercury on the internet. With title and license the grand total was $3,793.00 This car was owned and driven until the 80's when she sold it to the couple I purchased it from. The car comes with all the dealer paperwork, owners manual, warranty card, and battery card. The car runs and drives as new with 98% original twilight turquoise paint and interior. Chrome and stainless also as new. The interior is near mint and the trunk is very clean as well. This car is about 99% rust-free. It's had a recent tune-up and has been driven to Hot August Nights in Reno twice with zero issues and would be perfectly safe and reliable to drive anywhere. I truly believe this may be the best preserved original 58 hardtop especially considering it has all dealer paperwork and even has the original dealership license plate frame and Oregon plates! Please email with any questions on this fine motorcar.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
