III ? v Another honorl Another triumph! Among all car$ in America, the 1950 Mercury was the official PACE CAR for the world-famous Indianapolis 500-mile Race! IT'S ANOTHER GREAT EVENT OF THE YEAR IN WHICH MERCURY HAS HELD THE SPOTLIGHT OF ATTENTION. First ... as Sweepstakes Winner in the Grand Canyon Economy Run at 26.5 miles per gallon ... the big 3600-pound Mercury proved itself "America's No. 1 Economy Car.' And now-at speeds close to 100 miles per hour-Mercury paced motordom's biggest event of the year with the same "High-power Compression" engine that will provide your biggest thrill of the year when you "test-drive" it at our showrooms. Ten minutes behind the wheel, and you'll agree with W. Wilbur Shaw, Presided of the Indianapolis Speedway, that Mercury was PACE CAR "because of its many contributions to the automotive industry." Mercury's "readability" is unmatched in its price field. So is its "Stedi-Line" steering, "Lounge-Rest" ride, and flashing V-type, eight cylinder performance! And all the luxury features that you'd expect to pav extra for, you'll find BETTER ... and as standard equipment ... in a Mercury!
