What's behind
§ the big
switch to
FORD?
These specific common sense v
features are the big reasons why,
Ford is the best seller:
1. Si» pott.ng.rs, not just four, rid. In comfort. Yes,
even the man in the middle. Breaux Ford'i
full-depth seats are extra thick all Iht way
acrejs—there’s no hard tpot in thr center as in
some cars.
2. Th. doors or. wid.r for easier entry. Compared
with Ford’s major competitor, they open wider
. . . and have two-stage front door checks.
3. Ford'i styling is tontibl*. It’s clean and simple
like the Thunderbird. No useless wings that are
easy to dent.
4. Ford'i from, is sof.r. In its field, only Ford has a
wide-base frame that seats all passengers within
the protection of its husky side rails.
5. Ford's tpocious luggog. comportment is .osier So
lood ond unload. High rear trunk wall on Ford’s
nearest competitor makes loading difficult.
6. Ford's got Ih. most sound and w.attwr Insulation—
*v.rywh«rt. No other low-priccd car compares.
7. Ford Is oconomkol. You ssvc up to s dollar a
tankful with Ford's standard Six or Thunderbird
V-8 engines—for they thrive on regular gas.
You need change oil only after each 4000 mila.
IV muffler is aluminized to last twice as long
as ever. And Ford's new Diamond Lustre Finish
never—ever—needs waxing.
