1956 Mercury..."The Big M," as pictured in this 2/27/56 Life Magazine ad

Description

If your first car was a '56 Merc, you'll appreciate this ad, and want to hang it in the den or rec room!  The ad is promoting the rugged toughness of "The Big M," in showing how it tackles the steepest, roughest grades in Colorado.  Featuring two colorful models, the ad talks about "Refles-action power, road-hugging steadiness, and the impact-absorbing safety steering wheel to entice you to check it out at the Mercury dealer showroom.  It's a great old ad with no tears, marks, creases, or fading, and only shows slight age-yellowing around the edges.  Matting and framing under glass will cover the edges and preserve this piece of history for years of enjoyment.  It measures 10 1/2" x 14" and comes from a smoke free, pet free home.  It will be shipped in a protective plastic sleeve and have cardboard support.  Thanks for looking.    128
