f-LSSILC^S ECONOMY RUN
FORD BEATS ALL
IN ECONOMY!
MILEAGE MAKER
Score a blazing victory for Ford’s dollar-saving gas economy! Ford’s high-
compression Mileage Maker "6” with Overdrive beat every car entered
in this year’s Mobilgas Economy Run, regardless of size or weight, to
sweep the sweepstakes! Ford’s winning average was 56.70 ton-miles per
gallon.* And Ford’s high-compression 110-h.p. Strato-Star V-8 with
Overdrive was right up there in economy, too, with a record of 48.55
ton-miles per gallon!
The winning Ford was a regular production car, just like thousands
of other 53 Fords you see on the road today. This 1,206-mile trip from
Los Angeles to Sun Valley covered all types of driving conditions. The
route threaded through city traffic, where stop-and-go driving tests an
engine s fuel economy under the toughest conditions . . . and out along
the highways of four western states.
The Ford Mileage Maker "6” took all this in stride, maintaining
a speed above the required 44.25 m.p.h. minimum, to finish 1st in the
sweepstakes! What better proof is there that Ford is the thriftiest car
of all? What better way to show why Ford is worth more when you
buy it . . . worth more when you sell it!

TON-MILES PER GALLON*
Ford is the first car in its weight class ... in the history
of the Economy Run ... to win top honors in ton-miles
per gallon over all other cars regardless of size or weight.
vh The AAA Contest Board determines the winner by a ton-mile psr gcllon” formula to insure equal chance For all
✓JH cars in each class regardless of size and weight. Ton-miles per gallon equals the car weight [including passengers)
in tons, multiplied by number of miles traveled, divided by number of gallons of gasoline consumed.
