r- ft fete- PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, SEPT. 29, I960 Major Engineering Improvements In 1961 Line For Ford Automobiles The 1961 Ford features crisp i new styling, new dimensions for greater maneuverability, and ma jor engineering improvements such as 30,000-mile lubrication, that will result in lower mainten ance costs and more carefree op eration. James O. Wright, Ford Motor Company vice president and Ford Division general manager, said the new Ford, nearly four inches shorter and two inches narrower than in 1960, will offer “a com pletely new, fresh appearance in the classic Ford tradition of straight-line design.” The new Ford line, to be intro duced by Ford dealers on Septem ber 29, consists of 16 models in four series — Fairline, Fairlane 500, Galaxie and station wag. ns. Added to the line are two new models—a Galaxie Club Victoria (two-door hardtop) and a six pas senger Country Squire station wa gon. All six station wagon models, from the two-door Ranch Wagon to the nine-passenger, four door Country Squire with simulated wood paneling, have a new roll- down rear window in the tailgate. The tailgate itself is seven inches wider than in 1960. The front-fac ing third seat in nine-passenger station wagons has been improved and, when not in use, folds quick ly into the floor. A power operated rear window is standard on the Country Squire models and the 9-passenger Coun try Sedan and optional on others. Ford introduces an new 390- cubic-inch Thunderbird Special V- 8 engine in 1961 that is designed for effortless performance. The Thunderbird 352 Special and the Thunderbird 292 V-8’s, as well as the Mileage Maker Six, all are designed to deliver greater econ omy on regular grade fuels. The classic Ford look of the high-styled 1961 model features the traditional, crisp, straight- line styling, graceful front fen ders browned abovve widely-spac ed headlights, full-width alumin um grille, and the famous Galaxie roof-line. Small, canted blades top the sculptured rear quarter pan els that terminate in large round taillights thot readily establish the new Ford’s identity. Among imp’-ovemens in the Ford optional equipment are a power window master control switch which can be used to “lock-out” the operation of any or all win dows, and improved circuit break er protection for power seats and windows. Inside, the passenger seating space offers the same “built for people” comfort present in the 1960 Ford. Comfort and conven ience, like quality and durability, were designed into the car. Front seat passengers will continue to enjoy foam-padded seats and easy entry and exit with the swept- back windshield pillars which eliminate the troublesome “dog leg.” Optional equipment includes push button radio, heater and de froster, two air conditioners, a full range of power accessories, tinted glass, wheel covers, electric windshield washer, backup lights, electric clock, Equa-Lock differ- tial, safety paded dash and vis ors, safety seat belts, four-day manual seat, white sidewall tires and two-tone paint.
