Description
Mercury – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that uses baseball comparisons to describe their new car. The ad has a picture of a Green Sedan being driven by a smiling couple. The ad calls it a Big Leaguer with plenty on the ball! and describes it as “Lively as a base stealer”, “Roomy as left field”, “Powerful as a line drive”, “Comfortable as a box seat”, “Sturdy as the man behind the plate”, Easy to park as a bunt”, “Thrifty as the bleachers” and “Popular as the series ticket”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
