Under the supervision of the States Auto Club and the Federation Internationale de Automobile, each of these two '57 Fords traveled 50,000 miles in' less than 20 days. Ford No. 1 averaged 108.16 mph for the entire run Ford No.

2, aver 107 mph. These averages include time fpr all pit stops. In all, the '57 Fords smashed 458 national and international records. This test was run on the Bonneville Salt Flats in it was flie longest left turn in history. A car, like a man, Is known by its deeds, not words.

That is why, we at Ford, despite our confidence in our '57 cars, let their deeds of accomplishment speak for themselves. We wanted them to prove to you--in action--the stamina and performance we had built into them. No words of ours could speak with equal conviction. Therefore, we engaged an independent engineering organization to test our '57 cars more thoroughly than any other cars have ever been tested before--in this country or abroad. We provided them with "57 Fords--cars identical with those now offered by Ford Dealers.

The rest we left up to them. Here is what they did: They took these cars to the Salt Flats at Bonneville, Utah. Here, twelve of the world's greatest drivers took over. In relays they drove these cars night and day for a distance greater than twice around die world a distance equal to 5 years of normal driving. Not in all history has a man-built machine traveled so far in so short a time--by land or sea! But this was not a test of speed--but of endurance of the "Inner Ford." A trial to take the measure of Thunderbird Y-block V-S power without qualification of any kind.

A test of running gear--of brakes, of materials in body and chassis. Of steering and readability, yes, and comfort, too! A test, indeed, such as no cars have ever undergone, let alone 'successfully concluded. We feel that by their deeds, you shall know the '57 Ford cars. Surely they have told you, in decisive terms, that they are worth more when you buy and when you sail! Your Ford Dealer will gladly place at your disposal the neio hind of Ford that means a new kind of value for your car- buying dollar--the greatest the world has ever seen.
