Owners know better than anybody how Falcon outmeasures the rest. They've measured Falcon superiorities against the others for themselves...in gas mileage, room, comfort, convenience, luxury, and low price. They know no other compact measures up to Falcon. They love the car...and in proof their enthusiastic letters pour in by the thousands.
Measure the gas mileage. Falcon goes up to 30 miles on a gallon of regular gas. "We have checked time after time and we get 30.4 miles to the gallon.", write Mr. & Mrs. C. Lund of Hutchinson, Minnesota.

Measure the oil used. Falcon goes 4,000 miles between oil changes. "I have cut my expenses more than half. In over 8,000 miles, my Falcon has not used a drop of oil." - from Mr. Edward Balderas of Eagle Pass, Texas.

Measure the room. Falcon has full 6-passenger sitting room. "I've got the ease of getting in and out, leg room, a natural sitting position, head and shoulder room."...says Mr. Billie J. Mauldin of Clinton, Oklahoma.

Measure the luggage space. Falcon has a big vacation-size 23.7-cubic foot trunk. "We just completed a trip to Florida in our Falcon. We carried three suitcases in the trunk, plus an icebox, a small stove, a folding travel bag and brought home a bushel of oranges and over a bushel of grapefruit.", from Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Harris of Westerly, Rhode Island.

Measure the performance. Falcon gives you power, stamina and economy in a choice of engines - standard Falcon Six or optional new high-performance Falcon 170 Special Six. "It will cruise all day long at 60 to 70 miles per hour without the least bit of effort.", writes Mr. Millard Vance of Corning, Iowa.

Measure the price. Falcon is famous for its low, low price tag. "I got the Falcon for the purpose of saving money and it is doing just that." - from Mr. Bernard Smith of Houston, Texas.

Measure the handling. Falcon has sports car feel and maneuverability. "It is so easy to steer and parks like a dream. Most of my friends that have ridden in it are just as surprised with the way it rides and handles." writes Mr. Calvin H. McAllister of Randallstown, Maryland.

Measure the success. Falcon sold over 400,000 the first year, becoming the world's most successful new car. People everywhere are proving with their preference for Falcon that it measures up with more of everything Americans want in a compact car.
