QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q.—When I went back on ac-
tive duty, I surrendered my per-
manent plan of GI insurance for
cash, so that I would be covered
by the free $10,000 death in-
demnity. Since indemnity cov-
erage ends December 31, 1956, I
will lose my coverage. Is there
any way I can get back my per-
manent GI policy?
A.—Under the law, you may
obtain a new permanent policy
of tbe same kind and amount as
your surrendered policy—but at
premium at your present age. Or
you may reinstate your surren-
dered policy by paying the re-
quired reserve and the current
month's premiums. You may ob
tain this insurance while in the
service or within 120 days af-
ter your discharge. You could

THIS IS WHERE TOMORROW STARTS
Anew inner car gives you
a NEW KIND of FORD
.tap.**""-
for 1957!
Coming October 3rd,
On Wednesday, October 3rd, Ford Dealers throughout
the United States will unveil a new kind of automobile!
Cars are involved in every American's life. News of a new kind
of car is the biggest kind of news to millions of Americans.
The Big New Kind of Ford is that kind of news ...
a car totally new in design from crest to trunk lock.
This completely new automotive package will sell at
the traditionally low Ford prices.
This makes possible a new high standard of such honest-to-
goodness value that it actually increases the purchasing power
of your automobile dollar.
When you see it, other cars will look out of date, because .;;
This is Where Tomorrow Starts ... with a Big New Kind of FordI
The New Kind of Fori! is the fullest. m«t
eloquent exprcuion of Ford's special per-
sonality—the youthful grace, the whiplash
action—and the reputation for durability
known wherever there's a road.
To all this we have added true elegance
—a kind of elegance never before seen in
the low-price held. To make a car truly
elegant, you must start deep-down inside.
The Now Inner Ford
The Inner Ford—the car you cannot see-
is a very remarkable structure. Its frame
is actually a cradle. Side membm extend
almost the full Ixtdy width; they sine not
only as laipporting member* but as con-
cealed «Me bumper* of immense strength.
The New Ford Body

—six elbows wide in each seat, with deep
space around each one of six knee*. Ana
above all'that space, there's hat room to
spare for all six passenger*.
The 1957 Ford ride* low, solid, with a
firm, deep road-holding feel. Yet it'* a
liglu-hearted, flight-hearted ride— thi* car
is retpomive, nimble, agile, with a proud
easy movement.
' The New Ford Choice
Ford offer* not only one, but two siae* of
car* ... each on its own extended wheel-
base ... each with it* own body shell..,
each with its own ityling.
First, the two Fairlapft Serie* on a tl fl-
inch wheelbaie. The Fairlane MX)'* come
in 5 body types, a four-door sedan, a two-
door sedan, a two- and four-door Victoria
with no renter pillar*, and a convertible
eoupe. The same body types (except for
the convertible) are available in the Fair-
lane Serie*.
Secutid, two Custom Series mounted on
(lie lift inch wheelbase chassis. In the
Custom "S00 Serie*. a lour door and a two-
<ln« r srdart are distinguished from the
CnMom models by more luxurious inte
riors and elaborate trim. The Custom
Series also includes a Business Sedan.
Beyond all these, you also have your
choice of five Station Wagons—the famous
glamour cruisers that are the champions
in this field!
The New Ford leek
That low, low cradle-span frame means a
low, low car. The Fairlane 500 is only four
feet eight inches from road to roofl The
Custom is just over four feet nine inchest
The new Ford is not only low—but long.
Ford gives you more than 17 feet of ele-
gant length in the Fairlane Scries, a shade
lets in the Custom. It's a nice kind of fun
just to look at it. It'* high-priced in every
way except price.
The New Ford Performance
You can have up to 245 wonderful Thun-
derbird horsepower in any Ford model.
There'* a moderate-and really moderate
—extra charge for this engine of SIX
cubic inches with its 4-barrel carburetor.
For "Six" lover*, we've got the H4-hp

Six or V-8, the going it gTcatt
