Improvements
The 1967 Ford, with a major
body styling change for the
third consecutive year, will
seek a larger share of the med
ium price market by offering
the biggest and most luxurious
cars in its history.
“With the 1967 Ford, we will
offer the new car buyer the
smartest, freshest styling and
the most advanced mechanical
and body refinements possi
ble.” said M. S. McLaughlin,
Ford Division assistant gener
al manager.
“Our new models not only
have dramatic new styling, but
they also ride and handle bet
ter, are even quieter than last
year’s cars and have the great
est number of standard safety
items in Ford Division’s his
tory.”
Three inches longer than its
predecessor, the 1967 Ford
has sculptured side panels
v/hich give the car a lower,
longer silhouette. Roof lines
on all models but convertibles
station wagons and 4-door hard
tops are totally new with soft
er, more sweeping lines that
create a fastback look. New
grilles, taillights, side trim
and rear-end treatment add the
finishing touches to the big
Ford.
Interiors also are newly de
signed with instrument panels
that feature recessed controls
and new, more luxurious up
holstery materials.
The luxurious, top-of-line LTD
series, which carry the brunt
of Ford’s increasing penetra
tion of the medium-price field,
will include a 4-door sedan as
well as 2- and 4-door hardtops.
A new vinyl-covered roof with
special styling treatment on
the roof quarter panels set the
2-door LTD hardtop apart.
Among safety features are
ar impact-absorbing steering
wheel with deep-padded hub,
energy absorbing safety arm
rests, a dual hydraulic brake
system, padded windshield pil
lars, remote control outside
mirror, two-speed electric
windshield wipers and a new
lane - change indicator incor
porated in the turn signal.
Wtih a host of performance
options, - numerous engineering
refinements, and important new
styling changes, the 1967 Fair-
lane is well equipped to cap-
| ture an even larger share of
the burgeoning intermediate
car market.
The Fairlane, completely re-
• designed in 1966, has won wide
acceptance with sales currently
running 37 per cent ahead of
1965 .according to G. B. Mc
Kenzie, Ford Division general
j sales manager.
“ In restyling the Fairlane
for 1967, we endeavored to
sharpen the bold, clean, youth
ful styling that became Fair-
( lane’s hallmark in 1966,” he
! said. “Wtih new engineering
refinements, options and stand-
j ard safety equipment we ex
pect Fairlane to continue its
! exceptional market perform
ance.
j Fairlane for 1967 is available
; in four series with ' three sta-
’ tion wagon models. Power
i teams range from the economi-
J cal 120-horsepower 200 CID
Six to the high performance
425-horsepower 427 CID V-8.
The lineup of transmissions
goes from a fully-synchronized
three-speed manual to Fair-
lane’s now famous GTA Select-
Shift Cruise-O-Matic.
Thunderbird, pacesetter in
the personal luxury car field
' for more than a decade, will
j broaden its scope of appeal in
1967 wdth the addition of a 4-
door model, reflecting the
greatest changes in its history.
Donald N. Frey, Ford Motor
i Company vice president and
j Ford Division general manager
said the objective of the new
design is to retail 1 the Thun-
derbird’s unique personality
and offer the convenience of
four doors in addition to tw T o-
door models. “We believe the
new Thunderbird will be one of
the most talked about cars of
the year, and we expect it to in
crease substantially its share
of the personal luxury car mar
ket,” he said.
With styling that is mark
edly changed yet unmistakably
Thunderbird, the new models
present a long, lean GT-car
look. A thrusting, long hood
line, which sweeps down to a
massive grille with headlights
concealed behind retracting
doors, keynotes the new styl
ing. Rear-deck length has
been shortened to give added
emphasis to the GT appear
ance. Body side panels accen
tuate the new styling with a

classic, clean appearance.
Among the new safety fea
tures on the 1967 Thunderbird
are an inpact-absorbing steer
ing wheel with oversize deep-
padded hub, a dual hydraulic
brake system, padded wind
shield pillars, day-night rear
vision mirror encased in a
vinyl frame, multiple-speed
hydraulic windshield wipers
and a new “lane-change” turn
signal position. Thunderbird
will continue to offer front
disc-rear drum brakes as
standard equipment.
Newly styled for the first
time since its introduction in
April of 1964, the 1967 Mus
tang will seek to enhance its
already impressive reputation
as the most popular new car
ever introduced.
“The leadership we’ve es
tablished with the production
of 1,285,000 Mustangs through
the 1966 model year will be
challenged for the first time in
1967,” said Donald N. Frey,
Ford vice president and gen
eral manager.
“However, with new styling,
a wide selection of engines and
optional equipment plus new
ride and handling qualities, the
1967 Mustang is ready to re
tain the popular appeal it has
achieved in little more than
two years. ”
To insure its phenomenal
sales pace, Mustang for 1967
will include such new options as
the Select Shift Cruise-O-Mat
ic transmission which allows
manual or automatic gear
shifting and a line-up of en
gines that culminates with a
320-horsepower 390 CID V-8.
The Ford Falcon, most pop
ular compact car line ever pro
duced, will appear in 1967 with
new power and transmission
options, new safety features
and a number of styling and
product improvements that will
give the economy-minded buy
er more car for his money.
Already established as a
leader among cars of its size,
Falcon for 1967 boasts even
greater fuel economy, added
comfort and convenience,
smart styling and greater pas
senger safety.
“The Falcon has become the
trend-setter in its field“ said
Walter T. Murphy, Ford Divis
ion general marketing mana
ger. “In 1967, it has new styl
ing treatment with a Mustang
flair, added special features
and a new engine option, mak
ing it an even better value in
economical transportation.”
As in 1966, Falcon will be
available in seven basic models
including two sedans, three
club coupes and two station
wagons. The Falcon Club Wag
on series also is continued, of- 1
fering three “super-size” util
ity vehicles.
All Ford Motor Company
models will be on display at
Shealy Motor Co. on Septem
ber 30.
