There's no need to pay a “fancy price” to enjoy fine-car
luxury. Ford is lowest priced* of the low-price three, yet
offers values you’d expect only in cars costing far more!
To start with, you can easily pay twice
the money, and no'; find lines that can
hold a candle to Ford’s for lowness,
loveliness, or just plain good taste.
But step inside. That’s when you’ll
find the real evidence of Ford’s qudity!
, And, on the wav in, note that Ford
offers door checks that hold doors open
in either of two positions—for easy en
trance or exit. A little thing. But, in a
fine car, why not? Then, inside, notice
how comfortable -those plush, foam
rubber seats are. They’ll stay that way.
And on long trips. For they’re scientif
ically contoured over non-sag springs.
Your rear-seat passengers are treated
extra kindly, too—with spring assists to
help them open and close the doors—
with the most leg room in Ford’s field!
Fine cars are smooth-and that’s
another place Ford really shows its stuff!
Ford delivers its famous V-8 power
smooth as a whisper. That’s because
only Ford takes the pains to electron
ically balance each engine while run
ning under its own power. Not even the
makers of the most expensive automo
biles go this far to bring you super
smooth performance.
Ford rides fine-car smooth and quiet,
too. You can thank the new “Inner
Ford” for that. Ford, for instance, has
America', favorite convertible Is one of 21 Ford models for 1957
a swept-back front suspension that
actually “rolls with the punch” of every
road bump.
Ford’s rear springs automatically ad
just to give the right ride for every
road. And Ford keeps things quiet, with
the most sound insulation in its field.
Fine cars are
boilt to stay solid. So’s Ford!
Ford has the only frame in its field to
make use of rugged tubular steel beams.
No car at the price offers so many roof
strengthening beams. Expensive cars
aren’t built of thicker body steel or with
sounder engineering skill. Then, of
course, in Ford you can have all the
power assists and other conveniences
found in fine cars. And they cost far less
in Ford.* Yes sir! In every feature, everv
part. Ford is the fine car at half the
hne-car price. Come in and see!
