Thunderbird were its styling inspiration. Inside, you’ll be
greeted by rich, roomy luxury ... by fabrics never before
offered in a motorcar at any price.

supply its exciting power. You now have three engines
from which to choose. And each gives you the safe,
split-second response of Trigger-Torque Power.
Your ride will be up to 15% smoother—even on smooth
roads. You’ll find automatic driving at its most versatile,
most obedient, with new Speed-Trigger Fordomatic. Best
of all, you’ll find your kind of car, for there are 16 body
styles to choose from in four fresh new lines.
When you come in, don’t be surprised if you tell
yourself: why look farther—why delay—you just can’t buy
better than when you buy Ford.
