Greetings from
DONNELLEY & ACHES0“
Phone 3201
Plain talk to the man who thinks
"all cars are built alike today” I
JL EMMET JUDGE
"The one thing we know
car buyers want above
all in an automobile is
quality. Yet many people
assume that all cars today
are pretty much the same
in this respect.
This is far from being the case. I can
name at least 30 basic differences in
the design of our '59 Mercury. Natu
rally, we feel these differences make
Mercury a better car. For example:
EXTRA STRENGTH STARTS WITH THE 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 BUILD QUALITY YOU CAN SEE
Compare the way Mercury builds en
gine hoods. Most competitive cars use
what is known as a single-panel con
•traction. 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.
YOU FEEL THE QUALITY WITH EVERY STOP...
Mercury brakes are the largest in the
field—with up to 22% more brake lin
ing than competitive cars. And only
Mercury in its field has brakes that
adjust themselves mechanically. You
save money by eliminating periodic
adjustments. And you are safer be
cause Mercury brakes stay properly
adjusted for the life of the linings.
...AND EVERY HIRE YOU TAKE THE WHEEL
All 1959 Mercury* have a flexible cou
pling installed in the steering system.
This acts as an insulator—absorbs road
shocks that would otherwise travel up
to the steering wheel. Mercury, unlike
some cars, gives you this with either
ypanunl or power steering.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF PROOF THAT THIS IS
THE BEST-BUILT CAR IN AMERICA TOOAY
We know it is the greatest Mercury
ever designed and built. Never in
Mercury’s 20-year history have we had
so much value in the product itself*
Mercury has advantages everywhere
over competition. The four described
on this page are only typical. In future
messages I’ll tell you about dozens
more—in styling, comfort, in every
thing you want in a car.”
