Turnpike Cruiser, damn right it's a Mercury - that's always the answer. Sure the rear bumper is rediculous, but that back window going down is all kinds of badass.

The Buick Electra "Deuce and a Quarter" 225 Convertible.

Kinja'd!!!

It's a big, mean, old cruiser. and with a 225 inch overall length, it wouldn't look out of place next to some Battlecruisers of a different sort!

ah yes, the term I more commonly hear is semaphores. thar were so common on VW bugs back in the 50's & in European bugs till around mid 60's.

I dont have pics of my 50's project, a 1959 VW bug, unfortunately no semaphores.

my favorite 50's car, hmmmm. thats a hard one, a MK II Lincoln Continental 55, 56, or 57, Americas car to compete with Rolls Royce. or a 50's Nash Metropolitan which was basically a MG running gear, & I dig the MGs, these are the first 2 that spring to mind
