Ford is first in sales because it's first in value!
It is the only car in the low-price field that offers
...a V-8 engine... Ball-Joint Front Suspension...
Trend-setting Beauty!
With Ford Dealers selling more cars than any other dealers . . .
with Ford sales up 48% when the industry as a whole is selling
fewer cars . . . with more people buying more Fords than ever
before, there can be little doubt that today’s Ford is your best buy,
too. For what other car at Ford’s price offers you V-8 power?
What other car at Ford’s price brings you Ball-Joint Front Sus
pension and trend-setting beauty? And what other car at any price
returns you so high a share of your money at trade-in-time as
Ford? The answer is simply this: no car at any price brings you so
much of what you want most as does Ford. Test Drive the Ford
of your choice and see!
