Description
Mercury – Full color 9 3/4″ x 10 1/2″ ad that advertises “America’s Most Advanced Styling – Through 10 Models in 3 Great Series”. The top picture in the ad shows an above-the-car shot of a convertible with a well-dressed woman sitting, clad in a fur coat, in the driver’s seat. The next picture down shows a Two-Door Mercury with two-shades of green sitting there with it’s two occupants waiting while a third person stands at the rear of the car talking to a lady on a horse. This picture has a heading that says that there is “Out-Of-The-Future Performance To Match – With New Super-Torque V-8”. The bottom two pictures show the interior of this car with the camera placed by the passenger-side of the car viewing the inside of the car. The ad begins “Dazzlingly different designs and fabrics! Instead of using standard upholstery, Mercury designers, in many cases, created their own fabrics, patterns, and color combinations – then had them made to order”. The ad continues by talking about the new acceleration these cars have and claims that “There’s plenty of news in all 1955 cars”.
