For the 1959 model year, Ford consolidated the station wagon nameplates of its non-Lincoln divisions, with the Voyager combined into the "Country Cruiser" series while the Ford Del Rio, Edsel Roundup, and Edsel Bermuda were discontinued.

[3] Sharing its chassis with the rest of the Mercury range, the Voyager is built on a 122-inch wheelbase.

[5] The Super Marauder V8 was notable for becoming the first American mass-produced engine to reach an output of 400 hp.

In 1959 the keyboard control was discontinued and used a steering column gear selector lever.

[6][7] In a design that would be modified on later Ford/Mercury station wagons, the rear window retracts electrically into the tailgate, which folds flat against the load floor.

[8] While the revision was centered around an effort to better integrate the grille and front bumper, the "pie-wedge" taillamps were replaced by a "rocket-style" design, along with additional chrome trim on the C-pillar.
