Description
Mercury Colony Park Station Wagon – Full color 10″ x 14″ ad for the car that is “More beautiful, more useful than ever Mercury Wagons with the tailgate that turns into a door”. The ad has a drawing of a new Colony Park stopped outside of the Racquet Club in Palm Springs, CA where it is a Courtesy Car for special guests. There is a man sitting in the driver’s seat and he is talking to three different people standing outside of this car. The ad text wants us to “First, consider the rich, warmth of the Colony Park’s walnut-toned paneling. And the classic sweeping lines that give this Mercury a distinction unmatched in its field. Drive one – experience a true sedan ride.” And then they want to talk about the “Dual-Action Tailgate. Swings down like a regular tailgate for cargo. Or swings aside like a door for people. Nothing to it really. Noting, that is, except special hinges and our everlasting aim to keep on bringing you the newest, most beautiful, and most useful thing for wagon living.”
