Here’s proof you needn’t sacrifice comfort for beauty. Unlike most more leg room ... and a thicker, softer cushion. Mercury has the
’59 cars, Mercury is beautifully built for roominess. For instance: roomiest passenger compartment of all. Has the widest doors. Has
the hump on the floor has been cut in half, giving the middle rider the most visibility. Yes, you’re comfortably fixed ... in a Mercury.
