How did an American Ford Granada compare in tests of smoothness and quietness of ride with a US$ 20,000 German Mercedes?

How did an American Ford Granada compare in tests of smoothness and quietness of ride with a US$ 20,000 German Mercedes?
Read how German engineers rated both cars after 7 days of testing.
For 1977, a new Ford Granada was brought to Germany for a scientific ride comparison with a Mercedes-Benz 450SE (U.S. sticker price: $20,6891. The Granada was a standard produc-tion car equipped with optional 250CID engine ($122.) and automatic transmission ($186.). Testing was cori-ducted by an independent German en-gineering firm. *Excluding taxes, title, destination charges.

Aerial view of test site in Bavaria, Germany. Test 1: Smoothness test. To test for ''riding smoothness'' the German engineers drove the Granada and the Mercedes at various speeds over a variety of roads in northern Germany, ranging from cobblestone to smooth highway. Using a sensitive electronic re-

corder, they measured vibration Test results: Analysis of the enai-neers' data showed that in three out of le four test conditions there were ''no major differences'' in smoothness between the Granada and the Mercedes.
The Granada idea... ...was to offer American drivers classic styling and great riding comforts—at a sensible price. You've read what this Granada did

Test 2: Quietness test. In the next series of tests the cars were evaluated for ''quiet-ness'' of ride. Again, they were compared over a variety of Ger-man road surfaces at speeds from 30.55 mph. A sound meter recorded their interior decibel levels on the dBA scale. Test results: Analysis of the data showed that in all tests the Ford Granada consistently rode as quietly as the Mercedes-Benz.

What you don't know about the compact field can cost you US$ 505!

The difference between Falcon and other compacts? For one thing, many of the others are not compact . . . in size . . . or price! So beware—
What you don't know about the compact field can cost you '505!
In all the confusion of so many new compacts its hard to tell who's got what. Even more important, its hard to tell who is really compact and who is not. A good place to begin is price. And the best car to start with is Ford's Falcon ... because the compact field actually starts with America's lowest-priced. 6-passenger car ... the Falcon!
Magnificent upholstery? Falcon has it all as standard equipment ... at no extra cost! Where these new-name compacts are bigger is outside . . . just where you don't want it! Most of them are over half a foot longer, as well as wider and up to 500 pounds heavier than Falcon. With so much excess, they don't handle as easily as Falcon. And they certainly need rnore parking space. Fact is, they need up to 61/2 square feet more parking area. They also need bigger engines to tote around all this extra weight. And bigger engines need more gas. Falcon has proved it goes up to 30 miles on a gallon of regular gas. Falcon is the True Compact! To be sure, we could have made the Falcon big-ger outside. We could have endowed it with un-limited horsepower. But this defeats the whole purpose of a compact. You lose that unbeatable Falcon gas mileage. You lose that inimitable Falcon handling. And of course, you lose a lot of parking spots. We felt Falcon was right—right from the start. We felt this way because we already knew how the American people felt. They gave Falcon the biggest vote of approval in automotive history when 425,000 of them bought Falcon in its first year alone. In 1960 Falcon has actually sold more cars than two of its low-priced com-petitors combined . . . even outsold an entire corporation singlehandedly! 'This was the great-est first-year success any car ever had. America liked Falcon—and we mean to keep it so! In fact, America found Falcon so totally de-pendable, so thoroughly reliable, that we can make this historic announcement:

The Big Compact Difference! When you sit down and figure out just how much lower Falcon's price really is—you discover the first big difference. Falcon is actually priced as much as $505 less than comparable new-name compacts introduced just a its weeks ago.
Surprised? You have a right to be. What has happened in the compact field is this: There are high-priced compacts, there are medium-priced compacts, • there are low-priced compacts—and then there's Ford's Falcon, lowest priced of all six-passenger cars ... as much as $505 below the top!
Pay more? What for! This $505 difference assumes even larger pro-portions when you consider what it buys. True, these new -narne, high-priced compacts are larger than Falcon. But where are they larger? Not inside! They give you no more living room than Falcon. In kg room, hip room, shoulder room—in all these important measure-ments—Falcon seats 6 big people with all the comfort of the highest-priced compacts.
Seats them in luxury, too! Coat hooks? Arm rests? Sun visors? Foam-padded front seats?
Every 1961 Falcon is warranted by your dealer for 12,000 miles or 1 full year, whichever comes first!t The Falcon is that good!
If you are in the market foss compact ... and not a compromise ... see the 1961 Falcon and see if this isn't everything you had in mind. FORD DIVISION. Jtrr/A4,61154a,

O Ford Mustang apareceu para o mundo no dia 17 de abril de 1964, na Feira Mundial de Flushing Meadows, Nova Iorque, com direito à sua apresentação para o público por Henry Ford II.

O que a Ford, nem ninguém, esperava é que a Chevrolet, seu principal concorrente, fizesse uma homenagem aos 55 anos de vida do pony car, ainda que de forma sarcástica e bem humorada.

The 1965 Ford Falcon. The amazing new money-saving device!

THE TOTAL PERFORMANCE FALCON FUTURA HARDTOP
Amazing new money-saving device! The 1965 Ford Falcon.
Falcon for '65 delivers livelier performance plus up to 15% better gas economy (a new 170 cu. in. standard Six with optional 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission is the magic formula). Other Falcon economies: a 6-month (or 6000-mile) 71=65- service schedule. New battery-saving alternator. And, a low, low initial price. Is Falcon the best car for the least money CORD this year (best-looking, too)? You can bank on it! MUSTANG FALCON FAIREANE FORD THUNDERBIRD

Ford's smooth-riding pickup makes a great traveling companion. Very accommodating.
Make Ford the one you camp on, and the easy life starts the moment you leave home. Twin-I-Beam suspension sees to that. Each front wheel has its on axle—a forged steel I-beam. Each axle works independently to dampen road shocks before they reach the driver... smooth the ride on any road. Nor is the smoothness in ride alone. You find it also in the clean response of Ford's big, new 300-cu. in. Six and 352-cu. in. V-8 engines ... in the power reserves for big loads, steep grades. Ford makes a special long-wheel-base pickup for campers—aptly named, ''Camper Special.'' All the heavy-duty features you need to carry a big camper body are built right in. Makes your vacation travel wonderfully carefree. And when you think of it, that's the whole vacation idea.
