The ’64s from Ford are here:
The Year of the Test Drive starts today!
Ford cars have changed. Only a test drive can tell you how much.
Races and rallies, economy runs, braking and acceleration tests have
bred into our 1964 models the kind of total performance you just can’t
create on the test track alone. They are hard-muscled, fast-moving,
sure-footed. Open competition helped make them that way.
They offer you substantially more car than anything at
their price. You don’t have to take our word for it.
We re willing to rest our case on our cars.
TRY TOTAL PERFORMANCE
FOR A CHANGE!
