BIG CAR AND A COMPACT....

car are all yours ogiiihro
in the new Ford I
Fairlane. It brings
you automotive
advances you could
not buy two years ago in any car at any
price . . . yet it's priced right down
among the -compacts!
Four torque boxes are built, into the
corners of the passenger compartment.
These help greatly to absorb vibrations
from the engine or transmission, or
shocks from the wheels before -they get
to the passenger compartment. Actually,
a car's springs and shock absorbers do
the same thing, but in the new Fairlane
you have this third absorbing agent for a
new level of smooth, quiet quality. '
NEW V-8 ENGINE!
An exelusive new casting process has
created a completely new V-8 that com-
bines the strength of iron with the light-
ness of aluminum. As a. result, the
Challenger, V-8, the newest from the
world's V-8 leader, brings you smoother,
quieter, more economical performance.
The Fairlane Six is actually more eco-
nomical than many of the compacts.
ROOMY AND COMFORTABLE FULL-SIZE
INTERIORS!
Fairlane features full-size interiors, with
big car roominess for six people. Posture -
perfect front seats are genero,usly foam
' padded. The wide selection of fabrics,
appointments and optional poyver equip-
ment adds to your driving pleasure.
