It's two cars in onel HetV Today The FORD SKYLINER-world's only Hido-Away hardtop Once in a long, long while a car comes along that people remember and talk about for years after its introduction. The first model "A" Ford was such a car... The first Ford V8 was such a car... The first Ford Thunderbird was such a car. Today Ford Division is proud to an nounce still another car that many say is destined to become the most famous Ford of all: The Skyline world's only hide-away hardtop. If you plan to buy a new Ford, or al ready own one, the fact that Ford cre ated this car is important to you. For all the exhaustive research, planning and testing that went into the Skyliner is evidence of the engineering skill you get in every Ford model. The Ford SKYLINER, the only all-steel hide-away hardtop, is a car for history. This is an old dream of Detroit, a dream of two generations of motorists. And today Ford has made that dream come true in steel. But the story behind this dream is a story of men who refused to accept "no" for an answer. In the Ford tradition they kept striving toward the goal long after others had given up the chase. To understand this Ford spirit you must go buck to 1908. That was the year when many Detroiters smiled smugly as Henry Ford announced, "We will build a motor car for the great multitude . . . so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one." And they did. Txlay, nearly a half century later, Ford continues to cause the "experts" to change their tune. When you see this all-steel hardtop that retracts into a con vertible, youH be seeing a car that many said would never be mass-produced. But Ford did it. It was December 193G after eight years of research, planning, experiment ing and testing when Ford unveiled this masterpiece . . unveiled it amid all the pomp and splendor of the New York Automobile Show. And now this history-making car, this prototype of a whole future generation of cars, is ready for your own personal inspection in the showrooms of many Ford Dealers. Plan to see it soon. And ask your Dealer to show you the exciting advances in all models of the new Ford line for '57. It the newest new 1. iri M aU steal hardtop witk link Victoria styling ... 2.
