With its low-profile, generous proportions and sculpted contours, this 1964 Mercury Park Lane Convertible is a very sleek and ultra-sharp example of Detroit's mid-'60s style sensibilities. It doesn't take more than a glance to see why it was Mercury's top-tier and most expensive offering when it rolled off the assembly line. Since it was one of only 1,967 of its kind to even do so, its rarity is beyond question. More than 60 years later, it's still in fine form, clad in a tastefully subtle palomino color that's accompanied by a collection of clean chrome trim and bumpers, and running strong while wielding robust big block power. Its stellar condition accompanies a level of factory-correctness that's hard to come by, so this singular droptop has been the beneficiary of decades of attentive care and stands ready to create plenty of future motoring memories. Take a look inside and you'll see two rows of bench seating, with tan surfaces that are in surprisingly good condition, and carpeting below that's clean and well-maintained. One of the dividends of this Mercury's substantial proportions will become obvious right away. There's plenty of legroom and shoulder room both fore and aft - a good thing, considering you'll likely have no shortage of eager passengers vying to accompany you on your journeys. The dash area is another strong suit in this classic Mercury. Not only is it free of any serious issues, but the factory gauges inside the instrument cluster all appear to be in working order. Even the AM radio, so often an Achilles' heel in classics, stands ready to answer the call for a period-appropriate audio experience. An added Vintage Air climate control system sits under the dash to offer year-round comfort. Beneath the hood, a 390-cubic-inch V8 engine stands by, ready to provide spirited performance and a solid driving experience as it pairs with a 3-speed automatic Ford-O-Matic transmission that garnered a reputation for dependability. There's a stout 9" rear end in place in back, a welcome feature, considering the robust torque the FE engines from this era are capable of putting out. Factory power steering makes this Mercury easy to handle, while power brakes bring it to a stop with little effort.
