And they have been expressing their preference in a great and growing volume of purchases. The reason is simple. More and more people have found in Ford everything they want and need. They have found that Ford olfers exterior beauty that has set the trend for the industry . . . interiors that are so colorful and in such good taste that just sitting in a Ford is fun. If you’re in the market for on\i new car, you’ll be missing something if you don’t come in and value-check a Ford point by point. And when you Test Drive a Ford and find out what a brilliant performer it is, you’ll really understand why Ford is America’s Best Seller and America’s Best Buy. In the first place: Ford offers the two most modern engines in the entire industry: the completely new 130-h.p. Y-block V-S and the outstanding new 115-h.p. I-block Six. As for comfort—Ford is the only car in its field with Ball-Joint Front Suspension. This amazing new principle provides a degree of handling and riding ease that cannot be equalled in any car without this new suspension system. Choice, too, is a department where Ford excells. You'll find just exactly the car for you among the 14 body styles and more than 100 body color and upholstery combi nations in Ford’s three great lines. And consider these facts, too. Ford is a com- pletely modern car. The advanced fine-car features that make it “Worth More” when you buy it, will also make it “Worth More” to someone else when you sell it. Why not accept our invitation to Test Drive a ’54 Ford. We believe that you’ve never driven a car in Ford’s field that is in any way comparable.
