SQUELCH SQM
THE SQUINTS that come to squander
ers on near-sighted, lowbrowed, wiper
woozy windshields. The windshield
on anything less than a '59 Mercury.
'59 Mercury squelches all squints with
a windshield that takes in a quarter of
the universe in one breathtaking sweep.
A clean sweep, too, when the weather
man is mad, with Mercury's five-foot
expanse of uninterrupted wiper area! .
You'll go for Mercury's walk-in doors,
stretchout interiors, and travel-designed
trunk. Mercury's only diminished fea
ture is the floor hump-it's only half as
big, while competitions' got bigger!
For everything ailing the middle price
field, Mercury has the cure. Come in
and treat your eyes!
