DESCRIPTION
:
THE NEW MERCURY V-8 TYPE. A PRODUCT OF THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY
This year a new car — the Mercury 8 — joins the Ford-Lincoln family . . . fulfilling the desire of many motorists for a quality car priced between the Ford V-8 and the Lincoln-Zephyr V-12 and combining many virtues of each. The Mercury brings to a new price field an established tradition — the Ford tradition — of progressive engineering, mechanical excellence and outstanding value.
The Mercury 8 is a big, wide car, with exceptional room for passengers and luggage. Clean, flowing body lines are Lincoln-Zephyr inspired. A new 95-horsepower V-type 8-cylinder engine provides an extremely favorable power-to-weight ratio and assures brilliant performance with V-type economy. Mercury brakes are hydraulic; body and chassis all-steel. Appointments and upholstery are luxurious. New developments in weight distribution, soundproofing and seat construction make the Mercury an extremely comfortable and quiet car. . . . Your Mercury dealer invites you to see and drive this new quality car — a new name, a new car, and a new value for 1939.

FORD - BUILT MEANS TOP VALUE
Pull up with Pride!
Up goes the ego when you own a Mercury! This newest Ford-built, motor car makes a
smooth, impressive entrance
on any scene. Larger than a Ford V- 8 yet lower priced than a Lincoln-Zephyr . . .
the Mercury combines many
qualities of each. And its manner is so distinguished you want an audience when you drive it, and usually have one!
Here’s a “proud owner” letter that had us just a little worried ... at first: It reads:
“As one of the first Mercury owners in Atlanta, I register a complaint! I am a focal-point of attention. Necks are craned. People stop to talk. In the parking-lot, attendants scramble to take my car. Why don’t you advertise all this, sell more Mercurys, and give me some privacy?”
Well, Mr. S., there’s no safety in numbers! People will continue to gaze at the good-looking Mercury. And talk about thrift! Listen to this from Los Angeles (where the picture above was taken) :
“First car I ever owned whose gas mileage exceeded expectations! On our first trip ... 18.4miles to the gallon, and in traffic . . . never below 17 miles per gallon.” As another owner wrote (and he's from Missouri, at that): “In the Mercury I have small-car economy with big-car performance . . . and safety and elegance, too.”
Here are the highlights of the Mercury Light: 116-inch wheelbase; 16 feet, 1 inches over-all length. Exceptional width and room . . . 95-horsepower V-type 8-cylinder engine . . . Hydraulic brakes . . . Modern, flowing clean lines . . . Rich upholstery
and deep, soft seats . . . Scientific soundproofing . . . Balanced weight distribution and center-poise design . . . Large, easy-access luggage compartment. Ford Motor Company . . . Ford, Mercury, Lincoln-Zephyr and Lincoln motor cars.
