They show you why the new kind of Ford is worth more
when you buy it, worth more when you sell it!

The secret of Ford’s nationwide success is this;
it’s a new kind of Ford ... new from the wheels
up . . . more than a last year’s model with a
few “face lift” char a s. In a Ford the chassis,,
engine and body are individually engineered
into one spacious rock-solid unit.
If you’re a careful car-buyer with whom
features count, count the new features of
the ’57 Ford. Then drive it! There’s only
one conclusion: the liveliest car in the low-
price field is the completely new
Ford. For the decisive facts
see your Ford Dealer.
