STOCK CAR RACING:
2-to-l margin for Ford
Ford is king of NASCAR com
petition and Ford Motor Com
pany has the NASCAR
Achievement Award to prove
it In the 63 season, special
Ford entries won every single
race of 500 miles or longer,
scored nearly twice as many
points as any other make.
500-mile races are the ulti
mate test of inherent dura
bility and dependability. In two
other major stock car racing
associations IMCA and MARC,
Ford drivers have wrapped
up the 1963 championships.
SPORTS CAR ROAD RACING:
Ford V-8 power
is the new king
Here the Cobra with its spe
cial Fairlane engine emerged
as the overwhelming leader
in one short year. Cobra won
the coveted Manufacturer’s
Trophy in SCCA Class A Pro
duction competition by so
wide a margin no other cars—
U.S. or foreign—were even in
sight And in the two major
tests this fall the Laguna
Seca and Riverside races, the
new King Cobras dusted off
the top "unlimited" cars from
all over the world.
RALLY COMPETITION:
M an ufactuh r's
Championsh ip
Products of Ford Motor
Company and its world wide
affiliates won the 1963 Manu
facturer’s World Rally Cham
pionship. Ford's rally year
began when two specially
equipped Falcon V-8's startled
the automotive world in the
brutal 2500-mile Monte Carlo
Rallye. Other special Falcon
V-8’s triumphed in Holland's
famed Tulip Rally, and ran
away with the Manufacturer's
Team Prize in the 4000-mile
Trans-Canada Rally.

INDIANAPOLIS:
Ford ends an era
Advanced Ford engineering
smashed precedent in the
classic Indianapolis "500.'
The first time out, a light alloy
version of the Fairlane V-8
design in a Lotus chassis
finished second. And the next
time, in the Milwaukee "200"
it ended the reign of the tra
ditional "Indy" racing car by
leading every foot of the way
from start to finish
PERFORMANCE A ECONOMY:
\cu laurels far Fard
The Mobil Economy Run
underscored Falcon's year
long reputation for thrift—a
Falcon scored first in Class 8
(medium-engined compacts).
And the Pure Oil Performance
Trials brought laurels to the
big Fords, which walked off
with overall wins in Classes I
and II for total performance
(economy, acceleration and
braking).

Centennial Contest
Gets Big Response
j Tine Alaska Centennial Com
mission’s contest to find a suit
able centennial emblem and
motto, which closed November
30, drew over 1200 responses
from across Alaska.
According to Bob Arnold,
executive director of the com
mission, 498 entries were re
ceived in the emblem division,
and 761 entries were received
in the moto division. All of the
military bases and 46 commun
ities were represented by the
entries.
Arnold said he was very
much impressed with the
thought and care which were
evidenced in the entries re
ceived. Because of the large
number of imaginative entries,
he said he thought judging of
the contest would be a big task.
The sixteen members of the
commission will act as judges
at their next meeting, tenta
tively slated for mid-Decem
ber. They plan to announce
their decision before the end
of the year.
