Ext. 1818. 36 DAYS THAT CHANGED THE PERFORMANCE PICTURE IN AMERICA In 36 days, starting with the Monte Carlo Rallye in January of this year, our products have posted a series of competition wins that have made perform ance history. Here’s what has happened: Three V-8 Falcon Sprints were entered in the Monte Carlo Rallye. This is not a race. It is a trial of a car’s total capabilities. We did it (nervously) for the experience and with practically no sense of expec tation, because we had not entered an event like this before. One Sprint ended the experiment in a snow bank. But the others finished 1-2 in their class with such authority that they moved the good, grey Lon don Times to say: "The Falcons are part of a power and performance plan that will shake up motoring in every country in the world." That was Number One. Number Two was a double win in the Pure Oil Performance Trials. Fords captured Class 1 and Class 2 (for high performance and large V-8's). Both of these trials were for over-all points rolled up in economy, acceleration and braking tests. Then, at Riverside in California, in America's only long-distance stock car event that is run on a road course (as opposed to closed circuit, banked tracks such as the track at Daytona), Dan Gurney pushed a Ford to first place. The latest news comes north from Daytona. There in the open test that tears cars apart—the Daytona 500 —Ford durability conquered the field. Fords swept the first 5 places ... something no one else had equaled in the history of the event. In a competition —which anyone can enter—designed to prove how well a car hangs together, 9 Fords finished out of 12 entered ... a truly remarkable record considering that over 50% of all cars entered failed to finish. Why do we keep such an interested eye on compe titions such as these? Is speed important to us? Frankly, no. The speed capabilities of the leading American cars are now grouped so closely together that the differences have no real meaning. To us, who are building cars, success in this kind of competition means just one thing: the car is strong. This kind of performance capability means that the car is so well built that it can stand up to normal driving—the kind of day-in, day-out demands you put your own car through—for thousands of miles longer than less capable cars. In tests like the Daytona 500 and Riverside, we find out in an afternoon what might take us 100,000 test-track miles to discover. We learn how to build superior strength into suspension systems, steering systems, drive train, body, tires. Anyone can build a fast car. What we’re interested in is the concept of "total” performance. We believe in this kind of total performance because the search for performance made the automo bile the wonderfully efficient and pleasurable instru ment it is today—and will make it better tomorrow.
