Re: LINCOLN-MERCURY dealers of The Sixties
Yep, I saw those postcards and ads a while back when I was searching. Neat building. I think I found one article on one of the Van Curler family members back when I was looking. Can't remember exactly what it was about, though. There's bunches of the classified ads that pop up when searching that are posting job openings.

Re: LINCOLN-MERCURY dealers of The Sixties
There's a billiards dealer/trophy-plaque shop in El Paso that has to have been a Lincoln/Continental dealer back in "The Day." Here's why I think so:
Even when gone, the Continental is not forgotten.

Re: LINCOLN-MERCURY dealers of The Sixties
As far as the Mercury ad saying it's the only brand with only V8s, what about Lasalle, Imperial, and Continental?

Re: LINCOLN-MERCURY dealers of The Sixties
Are you wondering about Philadelphia specifically or the entire Philadelphia DSO (#16?) region which probably includes southeastern Pennsylvania and at least parts of some adjacent states.Andrys wrote:Going little bit of topic but could someone tell me how many Lincoln-mercury dealers were in Philadelphia in the 1970`s.

Philadelphia is a large city and probably had three or four dealers at any one time but factor in the suburbs or the entire DSO region and the number grows significantly.

Re: LINCOLN-MERCURY dealers of The Sixties
Don't know how many for sure but it would be a lot. You'll need more information to be able to determine specific dealership.Andrys wrote:Was wondering about the entire Philadelphia DSO.
You may want to consider getting a Marti Report.

Below the bottom right corner box
The first Continental was powered with a V-12, when it was a Lincoln.
The early Imperial was powered by at Straight-6, when it was a Chrysler.
Now to address the concern of "what about when Continental and Imperial were separate marques?"
This is an ad for the 1955 Mercury. Imperial became a separate brand from Chrysler in 1955. Similarly, Continental became a separate brand from Lincoln in 1956. Chances are the copy was written when the 1955 models came out toward the end of 1954. Imperial and Continental did not yet exist, so the claim would be valid. It would be difficult for an ad copywriter to edit based on future events that had not yet occurred (yes, as opposed to future events that had occurred already ).
