miles between lubncations
30,000 is the most famous num
ber of the year. It’s every ’61
Ford owner’s license to save.
How can Ford do it? Conven
tional chassis lubrication fit
tings have been replaced with
metal plugs that help protect
each lubrication point against
abrasive mud, dirt and dust.
And then, for only about $4
and about 20 minutes youf Ford
is ready for another 30,000!
This is just one of the many
ways the *61 Ford is built to
take care of itself. Your Ford
Dealer can show you more.
ram unman.
HERE’S HOW THE *61 FORD
TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
Lubricates itself—You’ll normally go 30,000 miles
between chassis lubrications (which cost only about
$4.00 and take about 20 minutes) because Ford
has replaced conventional grease fittings with a
sealed-in lubrication system.
Cleans its own oil—You’ll go 4,000 miles between
oil changes because Ford’s Full-Flow oil filter gives
you filtration through fibers... trapping more dirt
thaw any other type of filter made.
Adjusts its own brakes—New Truck Size brakes
adjust themselves—automatically.
Guards Its own muffler—Ford mufflers are double
wrapped and aluminized to last three times as long
as ordinary mufflers.
Protects its own body—All vital underbody parts
are specially processed to resist rust and corrosion,
even to galvanizing the body panels beneath the
doom.
Takes care of its own finish—Just wash and clean
Ford’s new Diamond Lustre Finish and it continues
to glisten like new. It never needs waxing.
