coast to highlands. Harvest
time is celebrated with fairs and
festivals.

decorating entire slopes and
valleys by early October, the
autumn spectacular in North
Carolina's "Land of.the Sky"
is on stage until November and
brightens the Piedmont and
Coastal Plain until the Thanks

tain*, autumn foliage patterns
usually reach greatest brilliance
and variety between October
10 and 25. The leaf coloring
moves from high altitudes down
the mountain slopes, and trav

the localities in which they can
expect the forests to be in full
autumn beauty.

The Year of the Test Drive starts today!
I ?
Ford cars have changed. Only a test drive can tell you how much.
Races and rallies, economy runs, braking and acceleration tests have
bred into our 1964 models die kind of total performance you just can't
create on the test track alone. They are hard-muscled, fast-moving,
sure-footed. Open competition helped make them that way. ; WizfAt mmqmiance
They offer you substantially more car than anything at ^omEi
their price. You don't have to take our word for it
We're willing to rest our case on our cars. ?Tflirlanw ? ? T LufldCT bird
