It doesn’t cost a cent to
Take a Ford Test Drive . ,.

August is Saving Season'
at your Ford Dealer's.
Bag a deal while he dean
his decks for the ’57 models.
Why put off the fun of a Ford Test Drive
for a single day? As you know, it puts you
under absolutely no obligation. And it may
save you literally hundreds of dollars—
we'll get to that a little further on.
By a Test Drive we mean more than a
onee-around-the-block “spin.”
We want you to test the power that
rocketed Ford to a 500-mile stock car record
at indianapolis ... the GO that won the
grand prize at NASCAR's Daytona Cham
pionships. We want you to feel how this
Ford scat pays off in your kind of driving:
in traffic, passing on the highway, getting
going at traffic lights. We’ll put either a
Ford Six or a mighty V-8 with up to 225
h.p. at your disposal.
We want you to drive and listen—drive
and feel.
That fine-car quiet results from sound
insulation under the hood, under the roof,
in door and body panels—the most insula
tion in any car at anywhere near Ford’s
low price.
Some other things that contribute to that
smooth, silent, luxury-car ride are things
which Ford's leading competitor certainly
can't boast: Ball-Joint suspension with
wide base control arms for better steering,
more stabilized wheel alignment . , . shock
absorbers that are mounted to the frame
rather than the body.
“Sure,” you’ll say as you drive along the
road. "Feels pretty good—but after all, this
car is new.”
Well sir, when you come in from your
drive we’ll show you why Ford will stay like
new for a long, long time.
We'll show you how Ford has five cross
members (including a “K” member) in its
frame. Ford’s leading competitor only has

Bated on a comparison
of suggested list prices.
two. We’ll show you the deep-block Y-like
engine design which enables Ford engines
to take it.
Now—what you've been watting for. '
How can you save hundreds of dollars by
taking a Ford Tiist Drive?
Simply by proving to yourself that there
really is a fine car in the low-price field.
You see, the reason a Ford does not cost
hundreds of dollars more than it does, is
Ford’s huge production and the huge
volume which we Ford Dealers sell.
But enough of this talk. Come in. And
you do the driving and the talking. Bring
the family, too.
