TOLLESON, PHONE 132 RoaJ of rit Daily Strtomlmen ' Vvoitli more...and why ere s an oki savin0: tliat a thine is worth what someone is willuiir to pay lor it. ell, it you could tour the wholesale and retail used auctions arouiul the country, if you could survey hundreds of used car lots you would discover that used Fords hring higher prices than any competitive make and by substantial amounts. ! THAT'S WHY we feel our '53 cars should not be compared witli cars in the same price range. Not because our competitors don't do a good job obviously they do but because we feel Ford Cars have more in common with the highest priced automobiles. The similarities are far greater than the differences. For example. Today, the most expensive cars in this country have V-typc, 8-cylinder engines. Ford Cars have had this exact same type of engine for over 20 years. What's more astounding, the current Strato-Star V-S sells for hundreds of dollars less than several other makers charge for a six-cylinder car. Now there's nothing wrong with a Six but they do cost less to make. Ford makes a Six the most modern oveihcad vahe Six in the industry. And if it's a six-cylinder car you want, Ford has it and for less .money than the V-S, which is as it should be. What about ride? Here's another Ford similarity with high-priced cars . . . Ruling Comfort. One of the misconceptions for many years has been that weight sheer Weight is what it takes to make a car ride well. Ford has found that you can make a 3000-pound car ride softer and hold the road better by far than many cars that weigh a full 1000 pounds more. In the '53 Ford, for example, front end road shod has been reduced up to $0. We say it compares most favorably with the heaviest cars sold today. What about automatic transmissions? It would take the fingers of both hands to count the various kinds of automatic and semi-automatic transmissions on the market today. The one we oiler is called fordomatic. It is the most versatile on the market, it represents the most profound consideration of engine-to-wheel power transfer and that it does the best job for our engines isn't even open to question. It "shifts" better than you could shift by hand. What you can see is also important. Here again Ford Cars lead not only in their price field but in the medium and upper brackets as well. Ford visibility is' Full-Circle Visibility. This means huge, curved unobstructed glass area, front and rear, plus side windows that allow all passengers what the hotels call "room with a view." Appearance? A higher price, of course, does not make a car more beautiful. Conversely, beauty in a Ford comes "for free." Ford has found that it costs no more to develop a beautiful car than one that is less pleasing in appearance. You can drive up to the most exclusive doorways in the world and feel perfectly at home in your Ford. Fords "belong" ... in exactly the same social category as the finest, one-of-kind creations. After all, a Ford is a custom creation multiplied. What about running costs? Here's one place that Ford's advantages are obvious. For oil and gas economy Ford has the big cars whipped. Ford parts cost less. Ford service charges are less. Ford tire mileage is thousands of miles greater. And, Ford depreciation is the lowest of any car on the market bar none. jrinf are Fords made of? Some people have the idea that the costliest cars are made of "better stuff." It's true that some high-priced cars have costlier upholstery and fittings. What Ford has is so good, both in durability and appearance, that you probably could not tell the difference. You might even prefer it, because of ks better design and more pleasing appearance. Then there's the question of sheet metal. If you were to measure and analyze the sheet metal structure in the most expensive car, you most likely would find it identical in thickness to the corresponding panels in Ford. After all, then, what is the difference between a Ford and the costliest cars? In our opinion, the difference is largely a matter of dimensions, weight (and the power required to move it) plus the distinction of owning a car that not so many other people own. The desire for these things is understandable . . . and probably justified for people who are willing to pay the price to satisfy it. As to comparing Ford with other cars in its price range, by all means do so if you wish. But, as we said before, you'll get a better picture of Ford value by comparing with cars that are most like Fords those that are priced up to twice u much. In fact, we think you'll quickly begin cora paring the other cars with Ford became the 1953 Ford has really established the New Standard of the American Road.
