This 1959 Mercury Colony Park station wagon was refinished in red with faux woodgrain paneling over red and patterned cloth upholstery under prior ownership, and it is powered by a 383ci V8 mated to a three-speed Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission. The car was acquired by the selling dealer in 2019, and subsequent mechanical work reportedly included rebuilding the carburetor, fuel pump, starter, generator, and steering box, re-coring the radiator, refreshing the brakes and ignition system, and replacing the tires, tie rods, ball joints, shocks, and headlights. Additional equipment includes whitewall tires, power-assisted steering and drum brakes, a luggage rack, a wraparound windshield, a front-facing third-row seat, power windows and locks, and a push-button AM radio. This Colony Park station wagon is now offered by the selling dealer in Massachusetts with a clean Florida title.
The body was refinished in Canton Red with replacement faux wood paneling under prior ownership and features bright trim on the bumpers, side moldings, luggage rack, window surrounds, wheel arches, and grille. Equipment includes a wraparound windshield, quad headlights, slanted tail fins, curved A-pillars, and a rear tailgate with a power window. Work completed in preparation for the sale reportedly included repairing the tailgate window switch and replacing the headlights and exhaust system. There is a crack in the rear window.
The 14″ steel wheels were repainted under current ownership and wear bright covers in addition to 235/75 Coker whitewall tires. A full-size spare is fitted in the storage area. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is provided by power-assisted four-wheel drums. Work completed in preparation for the sale is said to have included rebuilding the steering box and brake master cylinder in addition to replacing the power steering hoses, wheel cylinders, brake hoses, brake shoes, tie rods, ball joints, and shocks.
The front and rear bench seats were retrimmed in red vinyl with patterned cloth inserts under prior ownership. Interior amenities include power windows and locks, a front-facing third-row seat, an analog clock, a dash-mounted compass, and a push-button AM radio. The radio is said to have been cleaned and the selling dealer notes the power-adjustable front bench seat mechanism functions intermittently, the headliner is discolored, and the heater blower motor does not operate.
The three-spoke steering wheel features a horn ring and fronts a thermometer-style 120-mph speedometer and readouts for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 93k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The 383ci Marauder V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor that was rebuilt under current ownership along with the starter and generator. Additional work reportedly included re-coring the radiator and heater core along with replacing the ignition points, distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs, ignition wires, accessory drive belts, driver-side exhaust manifold, and battery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission. The seller notes the interior of the fuel tank was lined, the pump was rebuilt, and the sending unit, lines, and tank straps were replaced under current ownership.
