The 1965 Ford rides quieter
than a Rolls-Royce!
> f
Prior to the introduction of the
1965 Fords, the country’s lead
ing automotive writers drove
the new models at Dearborn.
Most of these experts remarked
about the extraordinary quiet
ness and smoothness of the Ford
ride. An automotive writer, in
Mechanix Illustrated, said, “If
there is a quieter car made in
this country, I haven’t driven it.”
Quiet Means Quality . . . Since
quiet is a traditional measure
of car quality, Ford engineers
designed the ’65 Ford for maxi
mum quietness. To illustrate

this quality achievement, Ford
chose to make a documented
test against the world’s finest
luxury car—Rolls-Royce.
Bolt, Beranek and Newman,
Inc., world’s leading acoustic
consultants to government and
industry, conducted the tests
under supervision of the au
thoritative United States Auto
Club. All cars were tuned to
factory specifications.

to be slightly quieter at all
speeds.
The official test report reads,
in part: “At all moving speeds,
on both courses, the Fords were
quieter than the Rolls-Royces.”
The Difference . . . The sound
level difference, to be sure, is
small—but it is there. At 60
miles an hour, Ford was actu
ally 2.8 decibels* quieter than
Rolls-Royce. At 40, Ford was
5.5 decibels* quieter. At 20,
Ford was 4.9 decibels* quieter.
However small these advan
tages over Rolls-Royce may be,
they are significant evidence of
quality—important to anyone
buying a car in Ford’s class.
