- The only compact car with fine-car styling. A spirited sense
of proportion gives Comet the most successful styling in its field. New
rust-proof aluminum grille, exquisite interiors, fine car touches.
- The first family-size compact. Comet's 114" wheelbase -
longer than any other compact's - provides spacious comfort that other
compacts sacrifice. In fact, Comet is the same size as most popular cars
of a few years ago.
- Big-car ride - small-car handling. Comet's fine suspension
(plus 114" wheelbase) makes the ride smoother than many standard cars.
Still Comet parks and handles almost as easily as a baby carriage.
- Priced with or below the other compacts. For all its fine-car
flair, family-size comfort, and big-car ride, Comet's price is
surprisingly low.
- New Thrift-Power 170 engine for '61. Comet now offers two
economy engines - the new, optional high-performance Thrift Power 170
and the standard Thrift-Power Six. Engines are mounted up front for
better weight distribution and safer driving.
- Choose from two- and four-door wagons, too. With over 76
cubic feet of cargo space and retractable rear window for easier
loading, a Comet wagon is one of the most efficient on the road.
Wide-opening tailgate makes the 9-foot long load space readily
accessible.
