Plain talk to the man yyfoo thinks "all cars are byiSf alike today" " 1 he one thing we know car buyers want above all in an automobile is quality. Vet many people assume that all cars today arc pretty mm h the same J. EMMET JUDGE m this lCspctt. This is far from being the case. I can name at least 30 basic clillcrcnrcs in the design of our '59 Mercury. Natu rally, c feel these differences make Mercury a better car. l or example: EXTRA STRENGTH STARTS WITH THE FRAME The backbone of every Mercury is the frame. Wc use a heavy box-type con structionthe heaviest in the industry. Competitors use frames that arc 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 struction. This type of hood can be twisted and turned with the slightest pressure often flutters and vibrates when the car is in motion. At Merc ury, 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 arc the largest in the ficld-with up to 21! co more brake lin ing than competitive cars. And only Mercury in it 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 TIME YOU TAKE THE WHEEL All 10.VJ Meicurys 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 manual or power steering. WE HAVE PLENTY OF PROOF THAT THIS IS THE BEST-BUILT CAR IN AMERICA TODAY We know it is the greatest Mrrcury 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 arc only typical. In future messages I'll tell you about dozens more in styling, comfort, in every thing you want in a car."
