Breathe in Relief ACCELERATION FlGUßES—Mercury's pickup anti passing power has been boosted in cicrr speed range. Test-track comparisons of 1954 and 1955 models show average acceleration increases as follows: From 0 to 30 mph—3o% greater; 0 to 60 mph —22% greater; under passing conditions (30 to 60 mph).— 22.5% greater. These increases are the direct results of Mercury's new super-torque V-8 engines and a new- quicker acting Merc-O-Matic Drive. (A new "kick-down” position on the accelerator automatically moves Merc-O-Matic Drive into "Lo” for fast starts. At cruising speeds you can "kick-down” from high to "intermediate” for extra passing power.) GASOLINE ECONOMY—Tests under average driving conditions show Mercury’s traditional eronomv is up again—ls% over last year’s models. Tin's new economy is one of the benefits of Mercury’s new si per-torque V-8 design which permits lower engine speeds and axle ratios. OPERATING ECONOMY—Mercury has a record as the lowest-cost car in its class to own. The reasons: low first cost, excellent gasoline economy, low maintenance cost (low engine speeds mean less engine wear, longer life)’and, most important, high resale value. DIMENSIONS—WheeIbase, 11«) in. Over all length. 206.3 in. with optional bumper guards. Height, loaded: Montclair Coupe, 58.6 in.; Monterey and Custom Coupes, 60.3 in.
