Compare the 1959 Mercury to Other Cars

Compare Visibility: Above: Only Mercury offers an exclusive new kind of wiper. It cleans with a parallel action that takes care of the center area.

Below: Mercury increases your angle of vision nearly 50% by having the windshield sweep up into the roof and lowering the cowl line.

Let's look at transmission tunnels! Above, left: Riding the hump in the center of a car is not a pleasant prospect for the person in the middle. At right, see how Mercury engineers whittled that center hump down to half its former size.

Below, see the difference in "middle-man" leg room between Mercury (at right) and other medium-priced cars (at left) including Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chrysler, and DeSoto models.

Compare roadability. See how the Buick leans sharply in a turn at normal highway speed while the Mercury on the same curve at the same speed, flattens the curve by remaining nearly level. The reason: Buick has abandoned the torsion bar, a long and obviously necessary car component. Mercury, as you can see, retains the torsion bar.
