BACK-SEAT BOUNCE. The only cushion-
ing many '59 cars could squeeze in
ovov their high floor hump is a layer of
spring and a jute pad. But Mercury's
lowered hump made space for full
cushioning.
ENTER-PHOBIA. This new ailment besets you when
you try to get into other '59 cars. Do you back in?
(~rawl in? Fall in? It's hard to tell which. But
~,ercury has the right remedy: door openings are 6
ches wider. There's up to 2 inches more head
~ earance. You step in easily_without a twinge.
YOU'LL HAVE
NEW CAR
EXCEPT MERCURY
CLOSE-TOOETHERNESS. Other '59 cars
make friendships too close. But
Mercury moved the dashboard for-
'ward for 9 ~ more knee room. There's
more leg room, more elbow room _.
more usable room all around.
DOOR-ITIS OF THE KNEE. Other '5~
cars have jutting windshield posts ,
that threaten to de-cap your knees!
But Mercury moved that windshield
post forward 2 inches. It's easy to
step in without hitting your knee.
STORMY-WEATHER TWITCH. Wipers in other
cars, do not clear the center of the wind-
shield, so you have to peek through 2 fan-
shaped sections. But Mercury's wipers
have an overlapping pattern_clear a five-
foot swath_including the center. You
drive relaxed in all kinds of weather.
MIDDLE.MAN CROUCH. That hump
in the floor of other '59 cars is now
larger than ever. It makes the man
in the middle sit with his knees at
his chin. But Mercury cut the
hump in half! Now the middle
man has room to stretch out.
ALL THIS AND ECONOMY, TOO. Mercury's quality construction means
lower maintenance cost. The Monterey's special Economy V-8 engine
means more miles-per-gallon. And don't forget Mercury's traditionally
high resale value. In short, Mercury gives you more car for your money
when you buy--more money for your car when you trade.
