An announcement of decisive importance
to anyone about to buy a new automobile
The most exhaustive endurance test
ever given an automobile has just
been completed by two stock '57
Fords—identical in every respect
with cars now being offered by Ford
Dealers.
Under the supervision of the United
States Auto Club and the Federa-
tion Internationale de Automobile,
each of these two '57 Fords traveled
50,000 miles in less than 20 days.
Ford No. 1 averaged 108.16 mph for
the entire run ... Ford No. 2, over
107 mph. These averages include
time for all pit stops.
In all, the '57 Ford smashed 458
national and international records.
This test was run on the Bonneville
Salt Flats in Utah ... it was the
longest left turn in history.
A car. like a man, is known by its deeds,
not words.
That is why, we at Ford, despite our con-
fidence in our '57 cars, let their deeds of
accomplishment speak for themselves.
Therefore, we engaged an independent
engineering organization to test our '57
cars more thoroughly than any other
cars have ever been tested before —in
this country or abroad.
We provided them with *57 Fords—cars
identical with those now offered by Ford
Dealers. The rest we left up to them.
Here is what they did:
They took these cars to the Salt Flats at
Bonneville, Utah.
Here, twelve of the world's greatest
drivers took over.
In relays they drove these cars night and
day for a distance greater than twice
around the world ... a distance equal
to 5 years of normal driving.
Not ir. all history has a man-built ma-
chine traveled so far in so short a time-
by land or sea!
But this was not a test of .speed but of
endurance of the "Inner Ford. A trial
to take the measure of Thunderbird Y-
block V-8 power without qualification
of any kind. A test of running gear—of
brakes, of materials in body and chassis.
Of steering and readability, yes, and
comfort, too!
A test, indeed, suc h as no ot'ier cars have
ever undergone, let alone successfully
concluded.
Surely they have told you, in decisive
terms, that they are worth more when
you buy . . . and when you sell!
Your Ford Dealer will gladly place at
your disposal the new kind of Ford that
means a new kind of value for your ear-
buying dollar—the greatest the world has
ever seen.
