car’s history, a new automatic
transmission and new optional
air suspension, will go on dis
play at Ford dealerships in early
November, J. O. Wright, Ford
Motor Company, vice president
and Ford Division general man

“At a cost of $185 million we
have developed a new Ford that
incorporates some of the most ex
tensive changes ever made in the
car,” Wright said.
The new distinctive styling is
emphasized in a front view of the
massive wrap-around one-piece
bumper with anodized aluminum (
'•‘jet intake” grille, dual headlights,
and Power Flow hood. New sheet
metal treatment incorporates re
designed front fenders new roof

it pioneered in its 1956 models.
The deep center steering wheel,
shatter-proof rear view mirror
and safety door locks standard in
all models, and the optional seat
belts and padded instrument
panel and sun visors all have
been improved for 1958.

58 FORD
COMING
Nothing newer
AROUND THE WORLD

JAIPUR.
Hw 58 Ford has been proved around the
world. This is the most dramatic and
•most grueling test ever given a new car
before its public announcement.
The whole world was used as a test
track for the 58 Ford. The car drove
through England, France, Switzerland,
Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Iran,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Malaya.
Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and
finally back to the place it started
Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A.
The Ford powered over the great
mountain ranges of three continents:
from the Alps to the Himalayas and the
Rockies. It crossed the great rivers of
history: the Thames, the Seine, the Tiber,
the Arno, the Tigris, the Euphrates, the
Indus, the Ganges.
This car stood at Buckingham Palace,
rolled up the Champs Elysees to the Arc
de Triomphe, and paused at the Eiffel
Tower. It was greeted by the great Paris
couturieres at the famous fashion salons
where its “sculptured in steel’’ styling was
applauded by the most style-conscious
audience in the world.
The 58 Ford rode smoothly down the
rugged, beautiful seacoast of Tito’s coun
try, to a festival in Dubrovnik, and into
Greece to Athens, where this newest
classic met such ancient classics as the
Parthenon and the Temple of Poseidon.
Into Turkey: and the 58 Ford passed
the great white lacework palaces of the
Sultans along the Bosporus and the
Golden Horn. Then the Ford went where
few but nomads travel, up into the hot
days and chill nights of the ancient
mountains of Afghanistan. And thence
along the route Alexander the Great fol
lowed with his chariots to cross the his
toric Indus river.
On and on the Ford moved, down into
the heat of mysterious India, through
New Delhi to the Iaj Mahal, and to the
great pink palace of the Maharajah of
Jaipur.
This great new car met the challenge of
the monsoons—rains that for centuries
have stopped all road movement through
out Indo-China, but didn’t stop the 58
Ford. It drove on to Penang in Malaya,
and then north to Bangkok.
Further on came Saigon, the Paris of
the Orient, at the farthest tip of South
east Asia. Finally, it powered across the
great Rockies and plains of North
America and back, at long last, to Detroit,
Michigan.
The 58 Ford ... has been proved and
approved around the world. A natural
question arises. Why did Ford go to such
great lengths with its 1958 model? Why
spend so much money and time and go
through all the problems of negotiations,
customs, border transit, diplomacy in so
many countries?
The answer: in the competitive auto
mobile market of today, only the best in
all-around value can survive. And this
round-the-world test is the most decisive
possible demonstration of the best.
The 1958 Ford is value: hard-dollar
value. It is also style, power, performance,
and a dozen great new features. But abo\ e
all. it is value.
This is the car you've been waiting lor.
See it November 7—there’s nothing newer
in the world than the 58 Ford!
