he retires. He has a motto that
advises prospective retirees—“in

gasoline. And MercuryVdone St with
this beautiful Monterey. You save 10%
every time you stop for gaa. And you

It’s about time someone built a beauti
fully styled car that is truly com

• for easier entrance, this Monterey
has wider front doors than even the
costliest cars. The windshield pillar
has been moved forward, out of the
way of your knees.
• For oxtro knee room, the instrument
pahtl has bfeen'inoved away from your
lap, -There’s9 inches more room.
# For oxtro comfort for center-seat
passengers, the tunnel-hump in the
floor h^ 'bee&i cut 50%. Passengers in
the middle no longer ride with their
legs doubled up. And the lower hump
makes room for thicker, softer seat
cushioning.
In a dozen ways, the ’59 Mercury has
made pleasures out of what are still
problems in other ’59 cars: New wind
shield wipers have an overlapping pat
tern, dear even the center. New alu
minized mufflers last twice as long.
New anti-dive suspension check*
"nose dip" on sudden stops. Self
adjusting brakes eliminate^ periodic
adjustment. New Super-Enamel finish
doesn’t need waxing for years.
Best of all, these beautiful Montereys
are attractively priced—well within the
reach of 2 out of 3 new-car buyers. We
invite you to see them at our showroom.
