| The 1953
Sunliner's new electric motor driven top mechanism is far faster- for
quick conversion, come rain or shine! An exclusive feature in Ford's field
is the new top well which folds out of the way when top is up. Gives you 3
cubic feet of extra luggage space. The new Sunliner's car-wide rear
window section zips out for extra openness in warm weather. Gives
you unlimited visibility in back, too. On sunny days, top folds down into
well...completely out of sight. |

At left, top is
held securely to windshield by lever-action latch for a perfect weather
seal. An easy pull and top is unlocked. At right,
a pull on this conveniently located button switch and top goes down
swiftly and smoothly. A push and the top's up in a
jiff! |

Ford leads again for '53 with all these
"worth more" features! |
 |
 |
| Visibility
Unlimited! Huge one-piece curved windshield gives you wide-angle
vision where you need it most. I-REST tinted safety glass rests your eyes
night and day. Controls on instrument panel are individually lighted. |
Center Fill
Fueling! Eliminates gas-pump "jockeying". Permits fueling from either
side of car because fuel pipe opening is located at center rear. Leaves
more baggage space inside trunk. License plate conceals filler cap...and
folds down for easy fueling. |
 |
 |
| New bold and
beautiful grille! It's wider, lower, more massive...distinctive as
well as functional. Hood latch release is conveniently located beneath
grille top bar. |
Fordomatic
Drive is the finest, most versatile, completely automatic drive in its
field! All you do is steer and step on the gas pedal...you never push a
clutch...you never shift a gear! Overdrive saves you up to 15% on
fuel. It gives you smooth, quiet performance and a longer engine life.

| Power to
Spare! 110-horsepower High-compression V-8 engine
makes you the leader from the word go! Ford's brilliant Strato-Star V-8 is
the smoothest, most spirited engine...and the only V-8...in the low-price
field. And with Ford's famous Automatic Power Pilot, you get high
compression performance without the use of premium fuel. Ford's
Automatic Ride Control is a balanced system of advanced, coordinated
ride features that takes tilt out of turns, bounce out of bumps...gives
you a smoother, safer ride. |
