Main them at any time by borrowing a "60" from the nearest Ford dealer.

Best of all, Ford "60" economy has been accomplished without any sacrifice of size, safety or style. It has the same big chassis as the famous "85" with the same superb Easy-Action Safety Brakes and the same husky all-steel bodies (more room inside for you, because compact Y-type engines take less room under the hood). Stop before you go to get a new car and remember: Your dollars go farther in a Ford the day you buy it and every mile you drive it! The economy of the 60-horsepower Ford V-8 begins on the price tag. Ford prices have always been lov and the price of the Ford "60" is the lowest in years. Check delivered prices of other cars of comparable size and you'll find a margin of many dollars in favor of the Ford "60." Economical operation has always been a Ford fundamental too.
