Fordomatic: Dependable, velvet-smooth automatic transmission. Simple as ABC to operate. Provides low and drive, park, reverse and neutral. Available with all engines.

Cruise-O-Matic: The last word in "automatics." Cruise-O-Matic offers two driving ranges to meet all road conditions. Provides exceptional fuel economy. Available with all engines except Six.

Overdrive: Automatic fourth gear allows engine to turn at about 30 per cent fewer rpm's. Makes short miles out of long ones. Gives a big boost to economy. Available with all engines.

Swift Sure Power Brakes: Easy, convenient power brakes have low pedal height and reduce pedal pressure for driver up to 45%. They're vacuum-operated, with reserve vacuum tank for "engine off" stops.

Master-Guide Power Steering: Steering is almost as easy as pointing, since effort is reduced up to 85%. "feel of the road" is retained. Parking is far easier. Adds value at resale time. Many consider this a "must" extra.

Power-Lift Windows: All four sides windows are controlled by driver's master switch . . . and by individual switches at each window. (On station wagons, only door windows are power operated.)

4-Way Power Front Seat: Pick your position, up, down, forward or back, with a finger touch. Especially convinient for different-sized drivers (i.e. husband-wife)

Equa-Lock Differential: Sportsmen rate this tops. With one wheel on slippery surface, Equa-Lock applies full torque to other wheel for easy pull-out. Gives surer control on ice, snow and rough roads.

Console Range Radio: Pays for itself at resale time. Has easy push-button operation . . . modern printed circuit . . . transistor powered.

Magicaire Heater: Fresh-air heating, ventilating and defrosting . . . all in one. Provides extra-fast warm-up. Operated easily by only two control knobs.

SelectAire Conditioner: New, higher capacity . . . heats, cools, ventilates, defrosts, and dehumidifies. Available on all V-8 models. (PolarAire Conditioner has no heater/defroster)

I-Rest Tinted Glass: Great for beating the heat and glare. Has gentle green and blue-gray tint. (Standard with factory-installed SelectAire and PolarAire conditioners.)

Automatic Windshield Washer: One simple-to-operate knob controls both the windshield wipers and washer. Wipers operate as usual, except that when you turn the washer on, wipers automatically go into action.

Front Seat Safety Belts: Attractively woven nylon-rayon seat belts are so well constructed that they exceed Civil Aeronautics Administration requirements. Buckles can be adjusted quickly and easily with one hand.

Sun Dial Wheel Covers: These handsome bright-metal wheel covers add distinctive highlights to any Ford. Covers snap on easily and firmly, have a domed spinner design, with sun dial ridges around the outer edges.
