Vintage 1957 Mercury Outboards Mark 75 Roy Rogers Print Advertisement — Original 1950s Marine Engine Ad
Approximately 10.5 x 14 inches.
This vintage 1957 Mercury Outboards advertisement features Western film legend Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and their six children aboard a gleaming mahogany runabout powered by the 60 HP Mercury Mark 75 — a compelling original print ad from the golden age of American boating. Rogers delivers five enthusiastic testimonials covering family cruising, outboard marathons, movie chase scenes, an African safari, and his boat rental business, making this one of the most text-rich celebrity endorsement ads of the decade. The vibrant color photograph of the full family skimming across open water captures quintessential 1950s leisure culture at its most aspirational. A highly collectible magazine advertisement at the crossroads of celebrity memorabilia and vintage marine history.
