The growing demand for dynamic but
tasteful automotive styling that expresses
dignity and quiet good looks ? resulting
from the preferences of American women
for clean lines and formalized design in
their clothing and home furnishings ? is
reflected in at least one line of cars in 1959.
Styling: of the 1959 Ford is based on a
dignified approach to automobile design,
one in which good taste is reflected in the
contoured metal, the pleasing colors, taste
fully-used exterior trim and choice in
teriors. Ford stylists avoided extreme de
sign curvatures and gaudy trim features.
For its "exceptionally good proportions
and elegant line," the 1959 Ford has been
awarded the gold" medal of the Comite
Francais de l'Elegance, recognized as one
of the world's leading fashion authorities.
The award was made at the Brussels
World's Fair.
The 1959 Ford car is new in concept and
new in style. The 1959 styling theme is
good taste, a result of consumer demand
for more elegance and dignity in automo
tive styling as opposed to gaudiness or ex
tremism.
In addition to Ford engines that have
been engineered for greater fuel economy,
Ford offers quality-designed construction
and a new, lighter Fordomatic transmis
sion with 105 fewer parts than in 1968.
Every piece of body sheet metal in the
1959 Ford has been changed to reflect the
good taste of the Thunderbird ? Ameri
ca's most successfully-styled car. The
Thunderbird's crisp, taut lines have given
the Ford a formal quality and the impres
sion of a bigger, heavier car without the
addition of bulk.
Ford's 1969 styling earned the plaudits
of the noted fashion authority, the Comite
Francais de l'EIegance, which, for the first
time in history, bestowed a gold medal for
styling on an American automobile at the
close of the Brussels international exposi
tion.
