Canada's No. construction job
Luiz all construction experts, Ford engineers
put quality first. Ford's heavy girder frame has
five cross members for extra rigidity. Its bowed -
out design lets you sit lower in the car for a more
stable ride, You're safer, too, within the protec-
tion of the massive frame rails,
The heavy -gauge steel used for the body'of
your Ford is the same as that used in many of
Canada's highest priced cars. All parts of the
body are interlocked for maximum strength and
resistance to flexing. Then body and frame are
bonded together into a single, solid, silent unit.
To the safety of sheer strength, Ford adds the
safety of Lifeguard Design. Features like the deep -
center steering wheel, double -grip door loeks
. and optional padding for the instrument panel
offer ari extra measure of passenger protection.
Ford's high quality standards pay off for you
with a car that's worth more when you buy it . ,
when you own it and when you come to sell it.
Ask your local Ford Dealer for a demonstration.
The proof is in the driving.
