good scoring chance coach Chick

ended when quarterback Carroll
Johnston fumbled and Oregon

covered. Uses 36 Players -

the Oregon State bench, start
ing his substitute parade in the
third quarter.

The First Major Contribution to your Driving Safety
Ford
irepuar
d Design
PoR MORE THAN TWO YEARS, Ford
engineers, in cooperation with univer
sities, medical associations and lead
ing safety experts, have been working
to determine the principal causes of
serious injuries in automobile acci
dents. They have established that
the majority of all the serious injuries .
to drivers and passengers occur in
three major areas.
These are: when the driver is
thrown against the steering" column;
when passengers are thrown forward
against hard surfaces inside .the car;
or when they are thrown completely
but of the car. ... . ' '.
With this information in hand, the
challenge was to find effective safe
guards to reduce these hazards.
Dr. R. Arnold Griswold, Chairman
of the Committee on Trauma, Amer- '
ican College of Surgeons, has asked:
"Why isn't it possible to design a
steering wheel which would cush- '
ion the effect of a crash instead of
leaving only a post
which damages
the driver's chest?"
Ford's answer
to the problem is
this new Life-
guard steering wheel, mounted on a -shorter
steering post
The deep-center construction acts
as a cushion under impact . . . to
decelerate the .driver and give him
extra protection against striking the
steering column. 1 '
But how about those other crash '.
danger factors like hard interior sur
faces with practically no "give." '
Here's what Dr. FrankH. Mayfield
of the Sub-committee on Traffic In
jury Prevention, of the Committee on
Trauma,' American College of Sur
geons, has to say: '
If. there were some practical ;
way to cover the instrument panel
with adequate energy-absorbing
material, there is not the slightest
doubt that head injuries would
be lessened or, in many cases
prevented."
Ford engineers not only found a
practical way to pad the instrument
panel, but, after hundreds of tests,
selected a special expanded plastic
material of a composition and struc
ture that is unique in its ability to
' absorb shock. It is so effective that
an egg dropped from a roof top onto
a one-inch thick pad of this material
did not break.
This new Ford
Lifeguard pad
ding is available,
as an option, for
the control panel
and sun visors of
all 1956 Fords.
Now, what about the dangers out
side when doors spring open under
impact and occupants are thrown
from the car? Tabulations of over
1000 accident reports at Cornell Uni
versity Medical College show that
.20.1 of accident injuries are caused
this way. Further, statistics show that
the chance of injury is twice as great
if a person is thrown from the car.
Mr. John O. Moore, Director, Crash
Injury Research at Cornell Medical
College, makes clear what he thinks:
"We have found that passenger
ejection from open doors more
than doubles chances of serious
injury. For double protection
against being thrown from a car,
' safety door locks, in addition to
- safety belts, are a most signifi
cant step forward in passenger
protection."
Let's take the
door latches first.
It is possible for
conventional,
single-grip door
latches, strong as
they are, to disen
eace when the
door and doorpost are temporarily ,
spread apart by a severe jolt The
illustration of hands, above, demon
strates conven-
NEW
WAY "ffH
tional "single"
grip. Fords new
Lifeguard double
grip door latch, (
standard in all '56 V
Fords, works
something like the hand, clasp shown
here. The "fingers" engage and over
lap for a double grip. This gives added
protection against doors springing
open under impact to help keep you
safer within the car.
As for seat belts, most of the au
thorities agree that seat belts, prop
erly made, properly installed and
conscientiously worn, could substan
tially reduce our nation's annual high
way death toll!
That's why
Ford engineers set
out to develop the 1
most effective seat
belts ever offered
in a car. To keep
" . a
thrown from your seat in a sudden
stop, Ford seat belts are one-third
stronger than those required by CAA
for commercial aircraft and they're .
anchored to a double-reinforced area
of the floor structure. They're avafli
able for both front and back seats on
all '56 Fords, at modest extra cost .
Lifeguard Design is not the only
thing new in the '56 Ford. . ,
Youll be delighted with the entirp
new Ford trend for '56. It's Thunder-.
bird through "and through.. For. not
only does the new '56 Ford offer
Thunderbird styling . . . but Thunder- -
bird power, too!
Of course, we're anxious to have -you
see the new 1956 Ford . . and
to Test Drive, if too. So, won't you
please accept our cordial invitation
to visit your Ford Dealer on this com
ing Friday, September 23rd? Make
your plans . . . today!
