What put the magic
in the new kind
of FORD?
r- --"— ....
Here’s what put the magic in
the new kind of FORD!
It started with the “Inner Ford.” When
Ford planned this baby, they thought in
terms of a car through-and through new.
The wheels got smaller. 1 his Ford is so
new that even the wheels have t hanged. Now
smaller and broader, they help you take off
quickly.
The wheelbase got longer ... so now you
can choose between a Ford that’s over 16 ft.
long—or one over 17 ft. long!
'The* frame got wider. Side rails bow out
to give a more stable, safer riding platform
... a lower, sleeker silhouette.
T he ride got smoother. With new suspen
sion, new springing front and rear, the t ide
this new Ford gives is the smoothest ever.
The handling got easier. Poised and bal
anced like a panther, this t ar has swept back
front suspension that works its magic: when
ll||. vou need it most.
Ijafr The power got hotter. There's a wide
§Bar range of Silver Anniversary V-8's to fit every
||t horsepower need* . . . plus.'a new Mileage

the going

The new Ford Fairlane 500 (118-inch wheelbase).
Longer, lower, larger than mam medium-priced
cars, yet lower in price than most oi them!
I snw'W®'1
The roof pot lower. And it’s designed to let
you make the easy entries and graceful exits
you've always known.
The body got quieter. It’s the strongest
body built for a low-priced car. No car in
Ford's field hassuch generous sound-proofing.
I'he room got bigger. There's head room
to spare for a tycoon-type hat. There’s real
stretch-out leg room, too.
The line.s got sweeter. They have the
Touch of Tomorrow. Each graceful contour
says, "Let’s go!”
The style got smarter. With this new-look
Ford you have a car that belongs anywhere!
All Fairlane models look like harcltops.
The value got greater . . . the price is still
Ford-low.
