POWERFULLY SMOOTH
with the ride that feels like a car…the Six that feels like an Eight
You’ve never ridden in any pick-up with so much car-like comfort.
Its secret: two front axles a Ford exclusive that work independently to make the roughest roads ride far more smoothly.
Even on the best of highways, you’ll enjoy the unique ride of Ford’s Twin-I-Beam suspension.
Gone completely is all riding harshness and pitch.
What’s more, this truck corners without mushing out. It brakes to sudden stops without the usual dipping or diving.
Ford’s new seven-main-bearing Sixes have the feel of a smooth-stroking Eight- the traditional economy of a thrifty Six.
Or you can have a new 352-cubic-inch V-8, most powerful pickup engine Ford has ever built…surprisingly economical too.
See it at your Ford dealer’s!

PICKUPS
BUILT TO LAST LONGER
Reason for Ford’s smooth ride is exclusive new front suspension with two independent front axles. Shocks at one wheel are not transmitted to the other. Axles are forged I-beams as used in big-truck axles. Result: big-truck durability with car-like ride.
