| Ford
Gives You a "Quiet Break" in 1970 |
 |
| Enjoying a long-standing reputation as the
industry's "quiet one," Ford for 1970 continues its tradition for easy
handling, road-smoothing ride, high-performance and quality craftsmanship.
Ford enters the seventies with a selection of 21 models - 14 new passenger
cars and 7 new station wagons - grouped into six series: Custom, Custom
500, Galaxie 500, XL, LTD, and LTD Brougham.
All 1970 Fords feature new rear and side ornamentation, new exterior
colors, plus two new, more formal grilles. Interior comfort has been
improved with the addition of a new Flow-Thru ventilation system and
several new convenience features, including pull-type door handles. Among
a host of engineering improvements are redesigned front suspension system,
new optional electric defrost system for the back window and new steering
wheels with concealed horn blowing mechanism. Bias-ply fiberglass-belted
tires, optional last year, are standard. |

| Making its debut in 1970 is the LTD
Brougham series, offered in a 4-door sedan, a 4-door hardtop, and a 2-door
formal hardtop. Brougham interiors include special seat, door and quarter
panel upholstery and trim styles, simulated wood-grain accents on steering
wheel and instrument panel, center armrest, and cut-pile carpet. Ford's
250-horsepower 351-cubic inch, 2-barrel V-8 engine is standard on XL, LTD,
LTD Brougham, and all station wagon models. It is also the base V-8 engine
option on Galaxie 500 models. Other powerplants range from the 240-cubic
inch Six to the 4-barrel 429-cubic inch V-8. Standard is Ford's three
speed manual transmission. Optional is Ford's SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic.
There is a wide choice of optional equipment power windows, power
seats, power door locks, fingertip speed control, high-back bucket seats,
and a variety of audio-stereo combinations. A manual reclining
front-passenger seat is newly-offered on all 2-door models from Galaxie
500 series up. |
