Do you know a better way to furnish a two-car garage P

compact with fine-car styling). So easy to handle (watch her park
like you!). Packed with the quality extras that make the difference
(luxurious upholstery and insulation throughout). Extra room
and a smoother ride (up to 7.5-inch longer wheelbase than other
compacts). Bigger trunk. Extra resale value (finest record of any
compact). Easy to own, too (priced with or below most compacts).
FOR "HW-BI6, LUXURIOUS MERCURY MONTEREY. Mercury's
top-of-the-line car. For the man who prefers or needs a big car.
He gets quality? example: every automatic transmission is "run
in" at the factory. For extra stability, a longer wheelbase than
other cars in its class. More room and trunk space. A smoother
ride (Cushion-Link Suspension). More big news: routine service is
needed only twice a year- at 6,000- to 30, 000-mile intervals!
