MANUFACTURERS SUGGESTED SERVICE INTERVALS FOR AMERICA'S BEST SELLING CARS
In a 1962 Ford Galaxie or Fairlane you can go all year—or
12,000 miles—with only two slops for service. This revolu-
tionary new twice-a-year maintenance program—available
only in the cars from Ford — frees you forever from the
nag-nag-nag of month-after-month servicing. (See chart.)
It s the biggest thing that’s happened to cars since Ford
introduced the 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty.* See
your Ford Dealer soon—and start saving time and money
with the convenience of twice-a-year maintenance. Its
another Ford first!
