Our cars swept ' the first five places in the Daytona 500 for example. More important to you Ford-built entries had the hiahest ratio of finishers in this grueling test of -staminal Less than half-just 23-of the 50 starters finished; 13 of them were Ford-built! Competitions such as the Daytona 500 are car killers. Piston rings can fail, transmissions can be demolished and engines blow up under these maximum efforts. It's a grinding demand for total performance and Ford-built cars proved they could take it better than any of the others. Quite an eye-opener for car buyers. And conclusive proof that superior engineering at Ford Motor Company has produced more rugged engines and transmissions, sturdier bodies and frames and better ail-round durability for today's Ford-built automobiles.
