MAIN ST. TELEPHONE St7 Plain talk to the man who thinks "all cars are built alike today" "The one thing we know tar buyer* want above all in an automobile it qmkty. Yet many people assume that all cars today [ are pretty much the same a shmst jndm in this respect. This is Ear from bring the case. I can name at least 30 basic differences in the design of our ’59 Mercury. Natu rally, we feel these differences nuke Mercury a better car. For example: DIM STREMT1 STMTS 11111 INC FRAME The backbone of every Mercury is the frame. We use a heavy box-type con struction—the heaviest in the industry. Competitors use frames that are up to 125 pounds lighter. WE MILO QUALITY YOU CM SEE Compare the way Mercury builds en gine hoods. Most competitive cars use what is known as a single-panel con struction. This type of hood can be twisted and turned with the slightest pressure—often flutters and vibrates when the car is in motion. At Mercury, on the other hand, we use a double panel construction—two layers of steel with the insulation sandwiched in between. Not only is Mercury's hood more rigid, but it looks better. VW FEEL TK QUALITY WTTU E9KRV STUf- Mercury brakes are the largest in the field—with up to 22% more brake lin ing than competitive can. And only Mercury in its field has brakes that adjust themselves mechanically. Yon save money by eliminating periodic adjustments. And yon are safer be cause Mercury brakes stay properly adjusted for the life of the linings. _ ...AND EVERY TWE YOU TAKE TM VMEEL All 19.">9 Mercuryt have a flexible cou pling installed in the steering system. shocks that would otherwise travel uf to the steering wheel Mercury, unlike tarn* can. gives yon this with ■anwal or power steering. pionv m We know it is the greatest Mercury ever designed and built. Never in Mercury's 20-year history have we had to much value in the prodmt itself. Mercury has advantages e-. rix.ri.rrr competition. The four » ,'<iil>ed i this page are only typital.
