cylinders in each front wheel (other
low-price cars use only one) for
smoother stops, greater reliability.

ing gives you better forward visibility

directly ahead of the car.

See that fine fat mountain yonder?
You can iron it out, flat as a flounder
.. . and easy as whistling!
Just point one of Chevrolet's special
hili-fiatteners at it (either the 162-h.p.
• 'Turbo-Fire V8" or the 180-h.p. "Super
Turbo-Fire"*) . . . and pull the trigger!
Burr-r-r-r-o-o-O-O-OOM! Mister, you
got you a flat mountain!
... At least it feels flat. For here are
engines that sing as sweetly as a dynamo
. . . built to pour out a torrent of pure,
vibratioriless power. Big-bore V8's with
the shortest stroke in the industry.
So most of the time they loaf. Even at
the speed limit they just dream along,
purring out a fraction of their strength.
An engineer can understand why they
are so hyper-efficient. But you don't haVe
to be an engineer to know that these are
the sweetest running V8's you ever
piloted. Just come in and try one out!

trigger-quick action on take-offs. It gives you a whole new feel-

YEARS-AHEAD LOOKS ... you see it in every Thunderbird-

Perhaps you've noticed, too, you see more and more Fords in

SMOOTHER GOING . . . and you'll go more places! The
reason? Ford's revolutionary Ball-Joint Front Suspension is better
