Unfortunately, the new buyer thought that it was too big a task to restore so cut it up and dumped it. This is probably the only 1957 Mercury Commuter that made it's way to Australia. It is just a pity that it no longer exists.

Interesting that this '57 Commuter has the Turnpike Cruiser four headlight set up. Was that an option, or installed after the fact ? Anybody know ?
