GOOD NEWS!
This car bears special significance for you if the car you are now
driving is over two years old. The 1952 Mercury is the only
really new car in its price field. Next year everybody will be
attempting to copy it. Yet recent government restrictions on machine
tools will render these attempts ineffectual. And in all probability,
prices on all consumer goods will continue to rise just as they
have been rising. Therefore, why not get this most forward-looking
of new cars now while the price is right and while you can enjoy
its exclusive, advanced engineering features years before the
others catch up. If the car you are now driving is over two years
old, you will be three whole model changes ahead instead of only
one! Let us give you further particulars at our showroom.*
*3 transmission choices: Merc-O-Matic no shift; Touch-O-Matic Overdrive.
or Standard. First two optional at extra cost.
