YOU RIDE SILENT, SOLID AND SECURE

. . . and here are some reasons why:

  • New Ram-type system for superior body ventilation.
  • Forward-opening hood has new torsion bar hinge for easier, counterbalanced action with release control inside car for security
  • New larger wrap-around windshield with swept-back pillars for greater visibility
  • Five roof cross braces welded to box section rails for a solid top having high strength and rigidity
  • Clear-vision safety glass throughout with much greater area for full-circle visibility
  • Front seat safety anchorage locks the tracks to chassis frame. Deep, full-width seat adjusts 5" to 11 positions and is comfort-contoured for spacious support and relaxed seating posture
  • Thick, resilient foam padding in front seat is standard in all models for luxurious, easy-chair riding comfort
  • Silent-Grip body mounts to soak up road shock and noise
  • Larger rocker panels and stronger double-ribbed floor pan with five sturdy cross members welded to bottom for increased rigidity
  • Ford's husky frame bows out a full foot wider midway so passengers ride within the safety of heavy frame side rails
  • Recessed full-width glass in back window of Galaxie and larger wrap-around glass in back window of other models give better rear visibilty and a straight-through look
  • New torsion bar hinging of the high-lift deck lid provides better counterbalancing, more trunk capacity (nearly 34 cu. ft. with spare). Broad, low-level entrance makes for easy loading, and rubber seals and rain trough make trunk weatherproof
  • Domed, ribbed wheelhousings supply solid foundation for roof rails, back panel and deck lid hinges
  • The best insulation in Ford's field by far includes a half inch of fibrous, sound-absorption material in the entire roof; one ince of glass fibre, felt and finish board on the dash
