This means that the sturdier, heavier Ford carried more weight, with greater gas economy per pound, than any car in its field. This latest Ford victory was scored over a rough and rigorous 1,468.8-mile route run ning from Los Angeles to Colorado Springs. The winning Ford threaded its way over the tough and twisting course averaging better than 40 mph. Through the ,heat of Death Valley and over the chilling hetglrt of an 11,000-foot mountain peak . . t through the gas-eating stop-and-go of c ity traffic and over the straiglil-linc open road . . . Ford proved anew its traditional reputation for economical performance. The winning Ford was a regular-production model taken right from the assembly line and officially impounded until the starter's gun sounded. It was no different than thousands of '56 Fords you see on the road and in dealers' showrooms, This proves that Ford, the Performance, Style and Safety leader, leads in Economy, too!
