This 1960 Ford Galaxie Town Victoria shares the all-new styling characteristics of the other Ford models, yet bears unmistakable resemblance to the elegant Thunderbird profile. The new Galaxie is one inch lower than the 1959 model, but has more interior .room for six big persons than ever before. The Galaxie also is available as a two-or four-door sedan. All Fords for 1960 have the slim-line, for ward sloping front roof pillar that eliminates the “dog leg” for easier entry. The 1960 Ford Sunliner is one of IS models in the new Ford line which will be introduced October 8 in Ford dealer showrooms across the nation. Featuring the strikingly modern rear deck and flat-wing motif, the new Fords are five inches longer, five inches wider and have more interior leg, hip, shoulder and head room than before. Ford's new integrated design, harmonizing the interior with a single, flowing exterior styleline, is proof that modern styling need not be radical or eccentric.

J. O. Wright, Ford Motor Com pany vice president and Ford Di vision general manager, said the 1960 Ford was redesigned from bumper to bumper because “we wanted to increase passenger space and comfort and improve the roadability and handling ease and performance.’’ He said, “After the car original ly planned for 1960 was well un der way the advanced styling office showed us some designs for Ford Motor Company cars even farther advanced than our planned 1960 model. “One of these was called ‘Quicksilver’,” he said, “ft cap-* lured everyone’s imagination immediately, and we began to explore the possibility of advan cing it to the 1960 models. We were faced with a crucial deci sion involving millions of dol lars '‘When the engineers pointed out that a complete new car al so would enable theim to design additional quality features into the vehicle, company manage menf gave the go-ahead. "One of the most Important features of the new Ford,” Mr. Wright said, “is that iit has been ‘comfort-engineered’. There is substantially more hip room, shoulder room, leg room and head room in Ithe 1960 Ford than there was in the 1959 model — which ranked far above its com petitors in these vital comfort areas. “With the new body design, the new frame, redesigned sus pension and improved power train, the 1960 Ford rides better, handles better and performs bet ter than any Ford in history,’’ Mr. Wright said. (Passenger comfort and con venience have been particular attention in the design of the new Ford cans. New, swept-back windshield pillars have elimina ted ithe troublesome s dog-leg” found in cars with ithe full-wrap Windshield. Yet, Ithe new model Ford has 17 percent more winshield area than last year’s Ford, provides better visibility out over the hood, and has a windshield wi per pattern one-third greater than in 1959. Ford's "posture perfect’’ seats permit ithe driver and passengres to sit In comfort on foam pad ding and at what Ford research has proven to be the most com fortable seating angle. Adding to the convenience of the new Ford line are such fea tures as a trunk opening that is only 27 inches from the ground, a foat-operalted parking brake with the release knot) located on the 'instrument panel, and two stage door checks The 1960 Ford line includes 15 .models that offer a total of six different roof lines. At the low end of the line is the Fairlane series, which includes a two-and four-door sedan and a business Tudor. In the Fairlane 500 series are two models, a two-and four door sedan. The popular Galax ie .series, with its own Thunder bird-styled roof, includes a two and four-door sedan, plus a four door hardtop called the Town Victoria. The Starliner, a new two-door hardtop entry in the Ford line, is one of two special models. The action-styled Starliner features a unique “fast-back” roof that sweeps gracefully back to blend with the elegant rear deck. The other special model is the Sun liner, Ford’s soft-top convertible. Better Stability and Improved handling have been accomplish ed partly through a wider tread, but mostly through the widening of the rear spring base. Two full inches have been added to the front tread width and nearly four inches to the rear tread. Long the leader in the station wagon field, Ford in 1960 will offer five different models with a longer load space, greater pas senger comfort and more versat ility than ever before. Ranging from the two-door Ranch Wagon to the elegant four-door, nine passenger Country Squire with simulated mahogany paneling, the Ford station wagon line has a model to meet any requirement. The load space in the 1960 Ford station wagons is nearly a foot longer than last year, and the tail gate opens flush with the floor. With the front facing third seat in position, there still is Storage room ahead of the clos ed tail gate. The tail lift gates can be opened easily with one hand. All standard Ford engines — both "six” and V-8 — are design ed to operate on regular grade gasoline, which saves a dollar a tank full. Ford offers four mod ern, Short-stroke engines for 1960, all of which combine efficiency, durability and economy with the added customer savings resulting from quick and easy service. The full-flow oil filter, standard e quipment on all Ford engines, permits Ford to recommend an oil change only every 4,000 miles. A new cross-flow radiator, which directs tHe coolant horizantally, provides improved cooling.

V-8 with two-barrel carbure tor, and the 300 horsepower, 352 cu. in. power option V-8 with four barrel carburetor.
