STATION WAGON SERIES-Station wagons were a separate series for Mercury in '57. The top-of-the-line model was the Colony Park. It featured four-door hardtop styling and fake wood trim. The mid-priced wagon was the Voyager. It had a rear vent window like the Colony Park, but did not have wood trim. The lowest priced wagon, the Commuter, looked about the same as the Voyager, but lacked a rear vent window.

 

Making its first appearance in 1957 was a promotional name that has continued to 1991 - Colony Park. It was applied to the premium-level Type 77B 4-door,9-passenger Station Wagon whiched sold for $3,677. Its production having totaled 7,386, this year's Colony Park maintained the long-standing Mercury tradition of employing woodgrain  appliques and rail-like border systems on top-of-the-line wagons.

 

The selection of 1957 Mercury colors consisted of Tuxedo Black, Classic White, Rosewood, Nantucket Blue, Fiesta Red, Moonmist Yellow, Regency Grey, Persimmon, Pacific Blue, Tahitian Green, Sherwood Green, Dessert Sand, Sunset Orchid and Pastel Peach. In addition to Flo-Tones and conventional two-tones it was possible to order these cars in a solid hue with a complementary or contrasting "projectile theme"color.
