This was an amazing 1964 Mercury Park Lane, and the owners were very friendly talking about its unique history. This was the actual car that Mercury built to be used on the Ford Magic Skyway ride at the 1964 World's Fair. This ride consisted of real Ford and Mercury cars (including Mustangs) riding on a rail, traveling through time, back to the age of dinosaurs (Disney developed the ride, and later used elements of this creative attraction for their Universe Of Energy ride in Epcot Center).

This was the actual Mercury that was used in the ride, so thousands and thousands of butts were in those seats! It's an absolutely stunning restoration, and one of those cars that you can't just open up a catalog to order repro parts for.

These pics were from the setup day, so they didn't have the pics and photos displayed yet.
