Really cool MM sales ad

[CRUZTAKER]

Member defyant turned us on to a really cool site in his thread HERE (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=15269&highlight=merc). BTW: Thanks Dude!!!:bows:

The site has alot of really cool Marauder stuff and articles, and the webmaster, Nev, turned out to be a really cool guy as well.

He sent me the original scan of a MM ad from a magazine back in the day. Many of us have never seen this ad. The best Nev could provide to us was the original hi-res scan in jpg format as the ad is no longer available. Perhaps some day, we can identify what car magazine this ad was printed in, and get an original to re-scan for possible posters. We may even be able to have some of our more suave ford employee members here do the legwork to contact the advertising department at ford l/m and aquire the ORIGINAL artwork. With THAT artwork, posters could easily be made.

For the time being, I have a nice copy of the scanned artwork that I will email to anyone that requests it from me.

"Maybe it's the paint"

:lol: :rofl:

uh Barry,... look at the bottom of the ad,.... I'd say it came from Motor Trend.

[Racerx88]

That ad was in Hot Rod and Motor Trend, I know for sure.
My stuff is in storage right now, but if I can find it, I'll rescan it for the membership. It would make a great poster, if FMC will let us do it.....

Absolutely!!!!

Scan at atleast 400 dpi if your pc's processor will handle it. Tweak the color and sharpness, and HOOK US UP!

[Bigdogjim]

Barry if not mistaken that ad was also on in/on the IMOA book last year?

I'll have to check to make sure. I remember making a comment about the paint because of the issues I was having getting mine re-painted:)

[Paul T. Casey]

I know for sure that ad and photo ran in Hot Rod, I have the issue. I'll run out to the garage tomorrow and let you know which issue.

http://www.mercurygallery.net/mmnet/data/500/627MercuryMarauder_Ad_Hi-Res_Large_.jpgHey Barry, that's the same ad that is in IMOA, Volume 12, issue 3, back page . Also, it the same picture that's in the 03 Dealer catalog, about half way through..I don't throw anything away about our cars...

If they let you do it? Probably NOT! Or by the time they reply you won't even remember it.

I say go to walmart online and order one in any size you want! For $30 bux I got me a really cool poster of my car in MM&FF... and one for my buddy Pat too with a little Thank You note that I photoshopped into the graphic.

Barry,

If you take the file on disc to a graphics house (they're also known as service bureaus), they can make a digital print from the file, as big as you want. In fact, there may be a Kinko's near you than can do it, though they may be limited in size. The only hitch may be if it is copyrighted.

It was also in Quicksilver, The IMOA magazine. :)

[Racerx88]

Well....I can't find the darn mag! All my stuff has been in storage since the divorce last year, and I can't find the box with all my MM stuff! I'll look more this weekend when I've got some daylight to use.
