...For there’s where Ford’s newness really pays off
...in melting; mountains...in smoothing the bumps
...in straightening the curves
You can see that Ford’s longer, lower Sculptured Look
makes other cars look downright old-fashioned. But the
part you can’t see—the new “Inner Ford”—is what shows
its stuff when you drive a Ford. It’s revolutionary from the
wheels up! And it feels it.
Ford’s wider frame lets you sit sweet and low. And
Ford’s new front suspension, rear springs and new easy
handling are part of the scheme to make you think every
road is cloud-smooth.
The magic touch of the new Ford power plants makes
mountains disappear. What looks like uphill feels like
downhill. You get this surging power in a wide choice of
Silver Anniversary V-8 engines. Or choose Ford’s Mileage
Maker Six, the most powerful Six in the low-price field.
There’s magic in Ford’s price tag, too! You won’t believe
this big new Ford is still priced Ford-low. But it is. Come
in and test its magic. It’s a real “Wizard of Ah-h-h-h’s!”
