THIS STUBBY CIGAR-SHAPED monster propelled by a four-cylinder

of its inventor, James Phillip Holland.

Chip looked a bit sheepisn yes-

W>rth more...!land why
'There’s an old saying that a thing is worth
what someone is willing to pay for it. Well, if
you could tour the wholesale and retail used car
auctions around the country, if-you could survey
hundreds of used car lots you would discover that used
Fords bring higher prices than any competitive
make—and by substantial amounts.
nSHHAT’S WHY we feel our ’53 cars should
1 not be compared with cars in the same price
a range. Not because our competitors don’t do
a good job—obviously they do—but because we
feel Ford Cars have more in common with the
highest priced automobiles. The similarities are
far greater than the differences.
For example. Today, the most expensive cars in
this country have V-type, 8-cylinder engines. Ford
Cars have had this exact same type of engine for
over 20 years.
What’s more astounding, the current Strato-Star
V-8 sells for hundreds of dollars less than several
other makers charge for a six-cylinder car. Now
there’s nothing wrong with a Six but they do cost
less to make. Ford makes a Six—the most modern
overhead valve Six in the industry. And if it’s a
six-cylinder car you want, Ford has it and for less
money than the V-8, which is as it should be.
What about ride? Here’s another Ford similarity
with high-priced cars . . . Riding Comfort. One of
the misconceptions for many years has been that
weight—sheer weight—is what it takes to make a
car ride well. Ford has found that you can make a
3000-pound car ride softer and hold the road
better by far than many cars that weigh a full 1000
pounds more. In the ’53 Ford, for example, front
end road shock has been reduced up to 80%. We
say it compares most favorably with the heaviest
cars sold today.
^hat about automatic transmissions? It
ould take the fingers of both hands to count the
various kinds of automatic and semi-automatic
transmissions on the market today. The one we
offer is called Fordomatic. It is the most versatile
on the market, it represents the most profound
consideration of engine-to-wheel power transfer—
and that it does the best job for our engines isn’t
even open to question. It "shifts” better than you
could shift by hand.
What you can see is also important. Here
again Ford Cars lead not only in their price field
but in the medium and upper brackets as well.
Ford visibility is Full-Circle Visibility. This means
huge, curved unobstructed glass area, front and
rear, plus side windows that allow all passengers
what the hotels call "room with a view.”
Appearance? A higher price, of course, does not
make a car more beautiful. Conversely, beauty in a
Ford comes "for free.” Ford has found that it
costs no more to develop a beautiful car than one
that is less pleasing in appearance. You can drive
up to the most exclusive doorways in the world
and feel perfectly at home in your Ford. Fords
'"belong” ... in exactly the same social category
as the finest, one-of-kind creations. After all, a
Ford is a custom creation multiplied.
What about running costs? Here’s one place
that Ford’s advantages are obvious. For oil and gas
economy Ford has the big cars whipped. Ford
parts cost less. Ford service charges are less. Ford
tire mileage is thousands of miles greater. And,
Ford depreciation is the lowest of any car on the
market—bar none.
What are Fords made of? Some people have
the idea that the costliest cars are made of "better
stuff.” It’s true that some high-priced cars have
costlier upholstery and fittings. What Ford has is
so good, both in durability and appearance, thai
you prohably could not tell the difference. You
might even prefer it, because of its better design
and more pleasing appearance.
Then there’s the question of sheet metal. If you
were to measure and analyze the sheet metal
structure in the most expensive car, you most
likely would find it identical in thickness to the
corresponding panels in Ford.
After all, then, what is the difference
between a Ford and the costliest cars? <
In our opinion, the difference is largely a matter
of dimensions, weight (and the power required
to move it) plus the distinction of owning a car
that not so many other people own. The desire
for these things is understandable . . . and probably
justified for people who are willing to pay the
price to satisfy it.
As to comparing Ford with other cars in its
price range, by all means do so if you wish. But,
as we said before, you’ll get a better picture of
Ford value by comparing with cars that are most
like Fords—those that are priced up to twice as
much. In fact, we think you’ll quickly begin com-
paring the other cars with Ford—because the 1953
Ford has really established the New Standard of the
American Road.

In a little more than a month from
now, a charming annual custom will
be observed in France—the wearing'
of Lily of the Valley on May day.
While the tradition is especially dear
to young lovers who exchange the
delicately scented flowers as a token
of their romantic rapture, it is not
the exclusive domain of youth and
love. Sentiment, Spring itself, and
the simple joie de vivre in young
and old are acknowledged by cor-
sages and boutonnieres of Muguet
ies Bois. Indeed there are as many
reasons for observing the fashion as
there are Frenchmen. Although no
one knows where or when the cus-
tom originated, I am sure it is kept
alive by the love of flowers which
is a French national trait.
Like wine and bread, flowers are
so much a part of French living that
you will not find a farmhouse so
poor that it does not have a flower
garden in the courtyard. Nor will
you find a public park without flower
beds and borders, often intricately
patterned, on the lawns. When you
are in a city, one of the loveliest
sights you will be urged to see is the
Marche aux Fleurs, a marketplace
where cut flowers can be bought for
a few francs by the unfortunate
townsmen who have no gardens.
This exuberant love of flowers is
celebrated each year in France, at
different seasons in various places,
with festivals, beginning with the
Mimosa Festival in February on the
Cote D’Azur. In April this year there
is a Jonquil Festival at Gerardmer
in the Vosges Mountains, and a Tulip
Show in Paris. The French capital
honors the rose in June with a Rose
Show at Bagetelle and a Rose Fort-
night during which the city’s shops
are decorated with roses. In June,
too, Chamonix in the Alps has a
Rhodendron Festival. There are
others, and even as late in the year
Wild Anemones in the French Alps.
as October there is a flower show
for Chrysanthemums in Paris.
Perhaps lovelier even than the cul-
tivated blooms are the wild flowers
of France—anemones in the Alps*
violets and wild hyacinths in all the
forests, the crimson poppy and the
azure bluet in the fields—countless
others that bloom in each season of
the year throughout the garden that
is France.
With such natural bounty it is not
surprising that flowers are the basic
ingredient in a multi-million dollar
industry—the Parfumeries of France.
The perfume capital of the world is
at Grasse where tons and tons of
flowers are cultivated and processed
for their precious fragrant oils. Al-
though there is a limit on the amount
of perfume a tourist can bring into
the United States, no woman in the
world would go to France without
bringing home one bottle that will
sav
