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.
