1961 Ford Owner Benefits

Ford's new instrument panel shows the clean-lined simplicity of the Classic Ford Look. All instruments are clearly visible through top sector of the deep-dish Lifeguard steering wheel (the spokes are positioned at 120 degrees for this purpose). The controls are finger-tip close, clearly marked, identified, and lighted at night.

Ford's Wide-Contoured safety-type frame surrounds all passengers with double channel girders of steel. These rugged, deep-side rails flare out to nearly five feet in width at the mid-section to provide extra protection from side impact...protection shared by even the passengers sitting at the outside of seats. Compare this with the narrow, "down-the-middle" design of the X-type frames used by some other cars. Ford's stronger, more rigid Wide-Contoured Frame fully rates your solid vote of confidence.

Ford gives you your choice of two automatic transmissions: thrifty, famous Fordomatic or dual-range Cruise-O-Matic. Both transmissions are noted for their smoothness, agility, and complete reliability. Going cross-town or cross-country, you'll ride more relaxed in Ford comfort-height Posture-Perfect seats. The seat back posture angle of 23 degrees is based on scientific research, proven the most comfortable and restful by repeated testing.

The Full-Flow oil filter is standard on all 1961 Fords. It cleans the engine oil all of the time and lets you go 4,000 miles between oil changes. You will benefit every mile from greater engine protection and oil savings. Every '61 Ford offers you the great comfort feature of foam-padded front seats at no extra cost. Luxurious foam gives you a smoother, softer, more relaxing ride and helps reduce driving fatigue over long trips. Big Circle taillights are mounted high and at each rear corner. They say "Stop!" with authority to all following traffic when you step on the brakes. They're styled to stay in style...help maintain high resale value for Ford owners.
