A personal car of distinction
...with Trigger-Torque performance
No matter whaf you have come fo expect in a car, you’ll
be delighted at the wealth of conveniences the Thunder-
bird offers. Two tops are available: a disappearing
fabric top . . . and an easy-to-lift-on hard top. The
extra-wide vinyl upholstered seat is foam-rubber-cush
ioned . . . power-operated 4 ways. Windows roll up . ..
by power, if you like. There is a tachometer . . . and a
clock with a sweep second hand. There is a telescoping
steering wheel. The baggage compartment is ample.
And you can have power steering and power brakes.
Come in today for
• complete
information
Something totally fresh is here — a bewitching new
all-steel beauty that sets the styling keynqte for other
Ford cars to come.
But, styling gives the merest hint of what the Thunder-
bird has to offer. For here is a car you can drive with
assurance and pleasure /. . for business or for recreation.
In traffic and on the open road the Thunderbird’s
Trigger-Torque performance is literally a revelation.
Here is hair-trigger response . . . fleet, liquid agility . . .
backed by a reserve of swift, sure power to meet safety's
every demand.
Trigger-Torque performance stems from Ford’s new
Thunderbird Special V-8 — a high-torque engine with
4-barrel carburetor, dual exhausts, wide-opening Valves
and Ford’s famous low-friction design. And to enhance
the performance characteristics of this brilliant V-8
engine, the Thunderbird provides special rear axle ratios
to match the transmission of ycKir choice - Conventional,
Overdrive, or new Speed-Trigger Fordomatic.
Then, in the ride department, Ford’s Ball-joint Front
Suspension really works wonders. It not only velvet-
cushions your ride, it also allows the Thunderbird to
handle with utmost ease — to corner with greatest stabil
ity. And when it comes to stopping, brakes are big and
powerful.
But, more important is the way the Thunderbird is
engineered, designed . . . and built! For it is the product
of the same advanced engineering . . . the same manufac
turing skills that have made Ford products so depend
able, so value-full and so desirable to so many.
