1951 Fords Go On DisylayWith
New Automatic Transmission
The 1951 Fords, featuring Ford-
omatic Drive, the new automatic
transmission, will be intrduced in
Ford dealerships throughout the
nation Friday, November 24.
“Ford cars for 1951 accomp-
lish notable refinements in styling,
beauty, engineering, riding qual-
ities, economy, safety and ease of
handling,” L. D. Crusoe, vice-
president and general manager of
Ford Division, announced.
Addition of the new automatic
device will make available to Ford
buyers a choice of three transmis-
sions and two engines—six dif-
ferent power combinations in all.
Both the conventional three-
speed transmission and the Ford :
overdrive will continue to be avail- 1
able. These, with the new Fordo-
matic Drive, will be offered with
either the 100-horsepower V8 or
the improved 95-horsepower six
engines.
Introduction of Fordomatic cli-
maxes several years of intensive
engineering research by the comp-
any to develop a fully automatic
transmission that is simple to
operate, economical, long wearing
and easy to service. The device,
which will be optional at extra
cost, combines the advantages of
a hydraulic torque converter and
a planetary gear train to provide
maximum performance and a
smooth and economical flow of
power.
The distinctive styling of the
7/e- CL

ere OM SANTA.
1949 and 1950 models has been
retained, but with refinements and
improvements both in interiors
and exteriors.
A lowered hood, a new dual-
spinner grille and a wider, longer
wrap-around bumper give a more
massive appearance to the front
end. Parking lights are restyled
and larger chrome headlamp rims
extend behond the lenses. Added
chrome and new, larger tail lamps
add to the appearance of the rear
end.
Rear deck lids on the new Fords
have been counter-balanced and
are opened by a new key release
lock. Springs then assist in raising
the lid and hold it in the open
position.
The new models have a wide
range of color combinations, and
a choice of upholstery, headlinings
and other interior trim to harmon-
ize with body colors. This wide
choice is a Ford exclusive in the
low-priced field.
The ‘51 “Safety Glow” instru-
ment panel is completely new. A
"Chanalited" instrument cluster
adds safety and convenience, and
the speedometer pointer has a
glowing ring which encircles and
illuminates the figure showing the
speed. The instrument control
knobs are mounted in depressed
cups, each individually lighted.
Key starting is provided by the
new ignition switch which in-
corporates the starter control. The
steering wheel also is re-designed,
with a full-circle horn ring on
custom models. A posture control
front seat is mounted on curved
tracks, and when it is moved for-
ward or backward, the entire seat
There will be a choice of 10
basic colors in all models except
the convertible which will have 12
and the Crestliner which will have
four two-tone color combinations.
New colors are Coral Flame red,
Alpine blue, Culver blue. Sea
Island green, Greenbrier metallic
and Mexacalli maroon. Other colors
are Sheridan blue, Silvertone gray,
Hawaiian bronze, Hawthorne green
and Raven black.
Sportsman’s green is reserved
for the convertible and Crestliner.
Coral Flame red is reserved for
the convertible.
The ‘51 models have a winged
hood ornament, and “Deluxe” and
“Custom” nameplates are on the
sides of front fenders. Chromed
V8 insignia on the fender identify
eight-cylinder models.
The chassis frame has been
strengthened by extending heavy
box section side rails almost to
the rear end. Brake drums and
backing plates also were redesign-
ed.

position for tall or short drivers.
An assist spring moves the seat
forward automatically.
An outstanding feature of the
new cars is a new “softer” ride
which is made possible by suspen-
sion improvements and automatic
ride controls. A new control valve
was developed in the hydraulic
shock absorbers, which adjusts the
cushioning effect. The combination
of new tension-type rear spring
suspension and softer front spring
rate maintains a proper balance
between the front and rear for
a level ride on all roads. Rubber
engine mounts also have been re-
designed. _
The Ford deluxe line includes
business coupe, tudor and fordor
models. In the custom line are the
club coupe, tudor, fordor and con-
vertible. The Country Squire sta-
tion wagon and the Crestliner com-
plete the passenger car line. The
V8 engine or the Six are optional
on all models except the convert-
' ible and the Crestliner. ________i

proof ignition system also is a
feature.
The new fuel pump is designed
to assure reliability under all kinds
of operating conditions. A larger
windshield wiper motor improves
wiper operation.
New mounting of the intake
manifold on the Six insures more
uniform fuel distribution for
quicker cold weather starting and
smoother performance. Quieter
operation is accomplished by in-
stallation of expansion control
Auto-thermic pistons and by adop-
tion of a redesigned camshaft and
a three-blade fan.
Gears have been redesigned and
strengthened in the conventional
three-speed transmission and in
the unit used with the overdrive.

It is now easy to aid rheumatism
' and arthritic and neuritic pains.
The test will cost you nothing.
So why suffer another day from
the agony of this painful ailment
when you can secure MUSCLE-
RUB, the new preparation that not
only-relieves the pains of rheuma-
tism but also lumbago, muscle
soreness, sprains, as well as the
less serious lameness of muscles
and joints? It is no longer neces-
sary to dose the system with in-
ternal medicine. The entire
MUSCLE-RUB treatment is a
simple liquid, applied directly to the
limbs, shoulders, neck, face or back
—wherever the trouble is.
We urge only that you make this test.
Use one-half the bottle, and if you are
not amazed and delighted with the re-
sults, return the remaining half to your
druggist and he will refund your
money. Price only $1.25, large economy
size $2.25. Buy it today.

Phone 85, E. Side Spuare—Hamilton, Tex.
Mr. Dan Goldsmith, 3024 Cur-
ron Road, Louisville, Ky., owner of
Coogla Cut Rate Store at 935 West
Broadway, says there just aren’t
enough words in the English lan-
guage to praise HADACOL cor-
rectly. He says he knows most
folks don’t realize what a change
HADACOL can make in their life
if their systems are deficient in
Vitamins B', B2, Iron and Niacin.
Here is Mr. Goldsmith’s state-
ment: .
“Before I started taking HADA-
COL I was run down and nervous
— and had a hard time sleeping
nights. With my work in the store
I have to spend sometimes 14 hours
a day on my feet. Since I am in
the retail business I saw how many
folks were asking for HADACOL
so I decided to try it myself. After
the first couple of bottles I could
tell a definite improvement. Now I
have all the pep and energy in the
world, my nerves are steady as
ever and I really do get a good
night’s rest. HADACOL is won-
derful— I not only take it, but
recommend it to all my customers.
I praise the day Senator Dudley J.
LeBlanc put HADACOL on the
market.”
HADACOL Is So Different
Thousands are benefiting from
HADACOL .. . whose systems lack
Vitamins B1, B2, Iron and Niacin.
HADACOL is so wonderful be-
cause HADACOL helps build up
the hemoglobin content of your
blood (when Iron is needed) to
carry these great Vitamins and
Minerals to every body organ—-
to every part of the body.
Give remarkable HADACOL &
chance and if you don’t feel better
with the first few bottles you take
— you get your money back. Only
$1.25 for Trial Size; Large Family
or Hospital Size, $3.50. If your
druggist does not have HADACOL,
order it direct from .The LeBlanc
Corporation, Lafayette, Louisiana.
