1946 Mercury Ad - "Step Out With Mercury" Vintage Ford Motor Company Advert

This is a full-page vintage color magazine advertisement for the 1946 Mercury automobile, headlined "Smart all over — just your style!" and captioned "STEP OUT WITH MERCURY." The ad copy promotes the big, new 1946 Mercury as a stylish car with a clean, sturdy, youthful look, broad deep seats tailored with rich fabrics, and colorful, luxurious interior appointments. Mechanically, it highlights the advanced V-type 8-cylinder engine described as offering "eager yet thrifty power," plus new hydraulic brakes "to make stops sure and silent." Readers are directed to see the car at their Lincoln-Mercury dealer, and Mercury is identified as "A Division of Ford Motor Company." The ad also promotes two radio programs: THE FORD SHOW on CBS, Tuesdays 10–10:30 P.M. E.S.T., and THE FORD SUNDAY EVENING HOUR on ABC, Sundays 8–9 P.M. E.S.T. The artwork shows a large illustration of a dark green 1946 Mercury sedan with chrome grille and trim, and a smaller scene of a well-dressed couple with a Scottish terrier admiring a green Mercury in a dealership showroom.
