Description
Mercury – Full color 10″ x 14″ ad that gives reasons why you should consider buying a Mercury in the year 1953. The headline asks if you are “Looking for styling + economy?” then brags that “We’ve got news for you”. At the top of the page is a picture of a Yellow with a Black top 2-Door that has stopped next to a golf course and the occupants are talking to one of the golfers while below is a larger drawing of a Blue Two-Door with the two occupants sitting and staring straight ahead. The text talks about how this car is able to offer the Forerunner Styling with exciting new Future Features like the Interceptor instrument panel while still giving you enough economy to again win the Mobilgas Economy Run. In the same paragraph that it talks about the economy it talks about the “stepped-up V-8”.
