The 1958 Mercury Park Lane debuted as the new flagship model in Mercury's lineup, replacing the outgoing Turnpike Cruiser and positioning itself to compete directly with luxury offerings like the Buick Limited and Chrysler 300D. Billed as “the perfect companion for pleasure,” the Park Lane epitomized American automotive opulence and style of the late 1950s. It boasted a potent 430 cu-in V8 engine producing 345 horsepower, and beginning in 1959, a 128 inch wheelbase, placing it among the most powerful and longest cars in its class. The Park Lane's distinctive styling featured quad headlights, a bold grille, and prominent tailfins – quintessential design elements of the legendary Jet Age. Available in several body styles including a 2-Door Hardtop Cruiser, 4-Door Hardtop Cruiser, and Convertible, the Park Lane aimed to captivate discerning buyers seeking a premium full-size automobile that could stand toe-to-toe with the finest from rival marques.

Presented here is a stunning example of the 1959 Mercury Park Lane Convertible, restored to national prize-winning standards. Its white pinpoint vinyl power soft top allows occupants to fully immerse themselves in an open-air driving experience. Finished in a black exterior with red accents over a duo-tone red and white vinyl interior, this Park Lane Convertible exudes opulence thanks to a full complement of standard luxury equipment. These include a three-speed Merc-O-Matic transmission, power steering, and power brakes.

Formerly a member of prominent Ford collector Jerry Capizzi's esteemed Cappy Collection, this Park Lane Convertible was acquired by the current owner in 2006 and has since enjoyed careful preservation in a climate-controlled museum space. Now offered with its spare wheel, jack, and owner's manual, this Park Lane Convertible represents a prime opportunity for collectors to acquire an exceptionally-preserved piece of 1950s American luxury, loaded with the finest industry-leading amenities and appointments Ford had to offer.
