THE CLASSIC FORD LOOK
i-i I
Beautifully built to set trends in styling and savings
beautifully built to take care of itself
This is probably the most imitated Look
in automobiles today. Take the roofline,
for instance. (Most other cars havel) Yet
it looks best on its original setting, the
Ford Galaxie. The roof and all the rest
of the car were designed to go together.
This is what makes the Classic Ford Look.
Moreover, this car is as beautifully built
as it is beautifully shaped. As Ford takes
care of itself, it takes care of your budget.
See the roster at right, and you’ll con
clude: This is the Ford in your future.
May we open its door to you . . . soon?
HERE’S HOW THE ’61 FORD TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
Lubricates Itself—You go 30,000 miles between
chassis lubrications (which cost only about $4-00 and
take about 20 minutes).
deans Its own oil—You go 4,000 miles between oil
changes with Ford's Full-Flow oil filter (which filters
better through specially packed fibers).
Adjusts its own brakes-New Truck Sue brakes ad
just themselves— automatically.
Guards its own muffler-Ford mufflers are double
wrapped and aluminized to last three times as long as
ordinary muffltrs.
Protects its own body— All vital underbody parts
are specially processed to resist rust and corrosion,
even to galvanizing the body panels beneath the doors.
Takes care of its own finish—Just wash and clean
Ford's new Diamond Lustre Finish and it will continue
to glisten like new. It never needs waxing.
Extended Warranty— Each part of '61 Fords, except
tires, is dealer warranted against defects in materials
or workmanship for 12 months or 12,000 miles, which
ever comes first Owners remain responsible for
normal maintenance service and routine replacement
of maintenance items suah as filters and ignition parts.
Every ’61 Ford, like the Galaxie Club
Victoria above, shares an honor to be
proud of. It is the medal presented by
the international fashion authority, Centro
per I'Alta Mode Italiana, to the 1961 Ford
for functional expression of classic beauty.
