THE TOTALLY NEW 55 FORD!
with styling inspired by the Ford THUNDERBIRD
X' v|
New FAIRLANE Series... The new Club Sedan, like all six
models in Ford’s new Fairlane Series, features the new wrap-
around windshield, new luxurious interiors and wide choice
of stunningly new, sing’e and two-tone exterior colors.

New CUSTOMLINE Series . . . The Tudor Sedan
(above) and Fordor offer a wide selection of new color
and upholstery combinations. Like all ’55 Fords, they
have a new wider grille, new visored headlights and
sturdier, extra-narrow pillar-posts for better visibility.
We invite you to see for yourself. And we tell
you in advance you’ll be amazed. For this new
Ford is totally new—outside, inside, and in
thrillingly different performance.
The long, low lines of the Thunder bird were
its styling inspiration. Inside, you’ll be greeted
. by rich, roomy luxury ... by fabrics never
before offered in a motorcar.
Mighty engines, mightier than in any Ford
before—supply its exciting power. And each
of Ford’s three new engines offers the safe,
split-second response of Trigger-Torque Power.
Your ride will be up to 15% smoother. Best
of all, you’ll find your kind of car, for there are
16 body styles in four fresh new lines.
When you come in, don’t be surprised if you
tell yourself: why look farther—why delay—
you just can't buy better than Ford.

TT PEEVES me no end to admit
that my mother was right, many
years ago when she said to me,
“One of these days—if you live so
long—you’ll discover why parents
have grey hair.”
My two-year-old son and his con-
tinuous escapades keep my folli-
cles in a constant uproar. Some
of his recent hair-raising adven-
tures: a fall down a flight of con-
crete steps; a second-best tangle
with a family of wasps; an unsuc-
cessful attempt to drive an auto-
mobile.
I have to give him the benefit of
the doubt where the fall is con-
cerned; that happens to a lot of
grown-ups, too, when they get care-
less. I can’t however, overlook the
fact that it’s definitely seeking trou-
ble to poke a nest bristling with
wasps. And, letting off the emerg-
ency brake on a car when it’s
sitting on a steeply inclined drive-
way is a bad thing for anybody
not strong enough to hold down the
brake pedal.
In the matter of the wasps, the
situation was handled with a lib-
eral dose of DDT (for the wasps)
and a like dosage of baking soda
(for the boy). A serious injury tc
both child and car was prevented
cnly because daddy just happened
to open the door in time to see the
car start to roll downhill.
My wife, of course, shares my
concern, but I think she is equally
troubled over the fact that I spend
so much more time recently in
front of the mirror. She accuses me
of getting vain with age, although
she knows well enough that I am
looking for the first tell-tale tinge
of gray.
The attitude on the part of grand-
parents is something, too. “Oh,”
they say, “you must expect these
things. After all, children will be
children.”
