IF YOU KNEW WHAT
THIS “CAR KILLER” KNOWS...YOU’D BE DRIVING A SOLID, SILENT SUPER TORQUE FORD This steel-edged pothole is probably the world's toughest test of a car's suspension. We drive into this car killer at 30 mph, locking our brakes as we go so the wheels can't roll through the hole as they normally would. The car slams against the far edge of the hole with such impact that it literally bounds out If you added up the cumulative effect of all the jars and jolts your car's suspension system experiences in years of normal driving, it wouldn't match the impact of one trip through the hole. Yet—a Ford must run this test three times to prove its strength. How can a Ford take it? Because Ford's front suspension has extra beef in spindles, springs, suspension arms—in fact, it's about 20 pounds heavier than the front suspension of our principal competitor's car. We don't expect you to abuse your car the way we do our test cars. But, however you drive, you'll welcome the extra strength of a total performance Ford. Ford strength is tested in a thousand ways in Ford's laboratories and proving grounds—and in open competition in the world's toughest rallies and stock car events. Look at Ford's astounding record in open competition this year in the grueling Daytona, Riverside, and Atlanta 500's, the World 600 at Charlotte, N.C., and in the demanding Pure Oil Performance Trials. Only a car with total performance—the best combination of strength, balance, precision control and roadclinging suspension—could roll up so many wins. Before you buy any new car, test-drive the solid, silent Super Torque Ford. If you haven't driven one lately, you can't really know what a new Ford is like. Make this important discovery: if it's built by Ford, it's built for performance... total performance. FOR tO YEARS THE SYMBOL Of DEPENDABLE PRODUCTS MOTOR COMPANY
