High score in gas economy goes to this big,
3600-pound Mercury that won the Grand Canypn
Economy Sweepstakes at 26.5 miles per gallon.
Add points in flashing performance with Mercury's
V type "Hi-power Compression engine that is setting
'speed track records all over the country. It's a combination of performance and economy so remarkable
that automotive engineers have named it the "hot package car of 1950. All this, plus Mercury's famous "lounge-Rest" ride,
Customized" two-tone interiors and "Merco-Therm" heating and ventilating, for as little as
y a montn wnn a surprisingly generous traae-in on your old ear. Ergo, why buy a small light car when
you can drive the outstanding value of the year for so very little more?
