PAGE EIGHT 1958 Ford To Be Shown November 7 L>~. v The 1958 Ford ear line featuring major styling changes, the most efficient engines in the car’s his tory, a new automatic transmis sion and new optional air suspen sion, will go on display at Shealy Motor Company November 7, ac cording to an announcement made today by Elmer Shealy, owner of the company. “At a cost of $185,000,000 a new Ford has been developed that incorporates some of the most ex tensive changes ever made in the car,” Mr. Shealy said. Historically, auto companies have made basic changes in their cars every three years, he pointed out. “But in its 1958 models, Ford fra** actually created fundamental design and engineering changes just one year after its completely new 1967.model,” he said. Demonstrating this change are twenty-fine models on two sep arate wheelbases; the Fairline and Fairlane 500, with an overall length of 207 inches, and the Custom, Custom dOO and the sta tion wagon, measuring 202 inches. The external appearance of the new’ car features Ford’s sculptur ed-in-metal treatment in which styling lines are molded into the sh eet metal itself. The new distinctive styling is emphasized in a front view of the massive wrap-around one-piece bumper with anodized aluminum “jet intake” grille, dual head lights, and Power Flow hood. New sheet metal treatment incorporates redesigned front fenders, new roof with seven front-to-rear flutes or grooves, and trunk lid and rear quarter panel innovations. From the rear, the 1958 Ford is distinc tive with a “V” sculpeured trunk lid flaring into twin safety oval taillights. Ford introduces the newest and most modern V-8 overhead valve engines in its 1958 line—the 332 and 352 cubic inch displacement engines. The result of more than 25 years’ sales and engineering leadership in V-8 engines, these engines combine new highs of ef ficiency, durability and economy with the added time and cost sav ing of quick service accessibility. The new 332 cubic inch engine, which will be standard on the Fairlane, Fairline 500 and station w’agon series, is available as an extra cost option in the Custom and Custom 300 series. The 362 cubic inch engine is an extra high performance option on the Fair- lane, Fairlane 500 and the station wagon series. The economical ‘Mileage Maker” six is available for most models and the 2!£2 cubic inch V-8 engine is standard on the Custom and Custom 300 series. The new engines feature com pletely machined, wedge-type com bustion chambers, larger, cooler running valves, new carburetion and exhaust porting and direct flow intake for peak performance at all engine speeds. Each engine is electronically mass balanced while running at operating speed and temperature under its own power. Cruise-O-Matic, an automatic transmission combining instantan eous “solid” response with nearly imperceptible up-shifting, is new for 1958. Coupled with the four- Venturi 332 and 352 cubic inch engines and a low rear axle ratio, Cruise-O-Matig provides a new power train that combines over drive economy with automatic transmission convenience, first such combination in the industry. The new transmission introduces a new drive position for solid feel take-off or all-out acceleration through all three gear ranges. An improved Fordomatic transmission also is available. Also new will be air suspension, optional for Ford Fairlanes, Fair lane 500’s and station wagons with V-8 engines and automatic transmissions in 1958. Air domes, made of specially strengthened rubber reinforced with steel sleeves, substituting for springs at each wheel. Air .pres sure inside the domes, which ia supplied by a compressor and air storage tank, varies according to weight of passengers and luggage to keep the car at a contant height and optimum springing for a “boulevard ride.” Switches on the car’s doors operate valves to quickly readjust height and bal ance when passengers enter or alight. Other valves make slower adjustments for luggage, etc. Ford also continues its policy of improving safety packaging for driver and passengers, which it pioneered in its 1950 models. The deep center steering wheel, shat ter-proof rear mirror and safety door locks, standard in all models, and the optional seat belts and padded instrument panel and sun visors all have been improved for 1958. Exterior trim and interior fab rics and color treatments will be new for 1958 as will distinctive two-tone combinations of new col ors. Optional epuipment includes a full line of power assists, two models of transsistorized radios, two models of air conditioning un its, and two types of heaters.
