EXECUTIVE
P£RSOfcAs, Fit.*-
If you haven’t driven a Ford lately, you’re
in for a thrilling experience.
For. this Ford is totally unlike anv car
you’ve ever taken for a spin . . . unless you’ve
put a Ford Thunderbird through its paces.
The Thunderbird inspired the styling in all
16 of Ford’s new models this year.
Inside Ford's Luxury Lounge interior you’ll
find fresh new two-lone colors . , . rich new
fabrics . , . totally new door paneling . . .
and a sweeping new control panel.
And the way this '55 Ford behaves is
something which only a Test Drive can
describe. But here’s a hint: Ford’s new'
Trigger-Torque power responds to your
w ishes in as little as 7/100 of a second . . .
and this power is yours in Ford’s new 162-
hp. Y-block V-8, 182-h.p. Y-bloclc Special
V-8 or a new 120-h.p. I-block Six.
There are many, many mor.? surprises in
this completely new Ford. To get the W
story, take a Test Drivel
