Now I may not miss Mercury the car but I will miss Jill Wagner, the Mercury Girl. My father’s first new car was a Mercury but that was in the early 50s. Mercury has been little but a Ford with a different grill for years and other than the lovely Jill there is probably no reason for Mercury to exist. Just another sign that our automobile centered society is coming to a close. It goes the way of Plymouth, another family favorite. So say goodbye to Mercury – times they are a changing.
