Named to commemorate the creation of the Interstate Highway System, the Turnpike Cruiser arrived in dealerships as the brand's flagship model, slotted above the Montclair. But it wasn't just a fancied-up version of the latter.
The Turnpike showcased a unique exterior with detailing worthy of the Lincoln brand. It had lots of chrome, anodized gold trim on the rear doors and fenders, and a big "M" emblem right above the front bumper. An additional Mercury badge sat right behind the rear window.
On top of that, the Turnpike Cruiser came with a handful of innovative and unique features. As you'll see on the unrestored survivor below, the roof vents are the first that stand out. Mounted at the outer edges of the upper windshield, these vents are fully functional, sending air into the cabin.
