    Description

    Remember those old '53 Mercury cars with all the chrome, wide white walls, huge steering wheels, roomy interiors, etc. etc.  This
    Life Magazine
    ad brings back some of those great features as it promotes all the new power features:  power steering, power brakes and 4-way power seats.  Of course, back then they came as an optional cost.  Now we can't live without them, nor would we!  This ad is a great one to matt and frame for preservation and is a great one to hang in the den or basement bar.  It's in excellent condition with no marks, tears, creases, has bright color with no fading (color in the ad is a brighter red than the photo for this listing).  It show some very slight age yellowing along the edges, but would be covered with matting.  It measures 10 1/4" x 14" and  comes from a smoke free, pet free home, ready for an appreciative owner.  It will be shipped in a protective plastic sleeve with cardboard backing.  Thanks for checking it out.   152
