Kaiser Fraser dealer tonight I'm going to take you back over one of the most thrilling experiences I've ever had I'm going to show you what happened when we literally tried to tear the Henry J to pieces we put the Henry J through some of the toughest roughest tests in the world the first test we made was down the bucking bronco rode one mile of concrete washboard an endless chain of brutal ruts built to shake the body bolts out of any ordinary car not seen the Henry J takes some mighty rough country roads but never anything like this she's hitting 15 jolting bumps every single second and I never would have believed it if I hadn't watched the wheels up and down they bounce like rubber balls and yet the Henry J's unique spring and frame construction soaked up the shock and gave a smooth level flight ride even a slow motion picture doesn't reveal a single jolt or John's and how was the driver enjoying it well he opened the door and I was amazed when I saw the steering wheel it was perfectly steady completely under control no shock no Road wander no wiggle every inch of the way the Henry J took this bucking bronco rode as though it were a smooth new superhighway and now that you've seen what I saw I think you'll agree that the Henry J is one of the world's toughest cars next week I'll tell you about another dramatic test and remember the Henry J is the smartest the prettiest full-size car you can buy with up to 30 to 35 miles a gallon with monthly payments as low as $49 so tomorrow go in and see your Keizer Fraser dealer start driving the smart new Henry J right away in the course of a year's driving you naturally to a lot of different road conditions and not all of them are ideal for example here's the kind of driving that we all enjoy we're on a wide smooth highway you're really rolling along with never above but now and then you're likely to encounter a stretch like this believe me the going can get rough so price the corporation engineers decided to find a way to give you a ride that would be smooth and rough rutted roads as well as on a Boulevard and here is the secret this is an aura flow shock absorber it was developed by Chrysler Corporation exclusively for Chrysler Corporation cars and it may look just like an ordinary shock absorber but it definitely is not for this unique or a flow shock absorber is built to absorb more pounding and bouncing on a rough road like this than any other passenger car shock absorber in the industry the aura flows shock absorber literally soaks up the bumps keeping your car levels on its course and the ride soft smooth and beautifully controlled we call it the boulevard ride and believe me that's the right name for it you get a ride that's as soft and smooth as a featherbed and here's a tiny tot and join to the full the ride of her mother's new Chrysler Corporation car and there you have it the smoothest easiest riding cars on the road today thanks to the only shock absorbers in the industry that

comparison shopper it's his job to visit different stores and check what one is offering against what the others are offering let's see what happens when he visits a Ford dealership and compares the 1957 Ford against the other low-priced cars he's got a list of features to check and we're sure that what he finds out will interest you as a new car buyer first he looks at Ford's heavy one-piece wraparound bumper and makes a note that no other car in the low-priced field has this one-piece construction now he checks Ford's lower sloping hood and sees that it's hinged at the front so that it's very unlikely that it would ever unlatch and fly up while you're driving he makes another note that Ford's windshield pillars are the only ones in the low-priced field that slant back like this you've seen this feature on high priced cars but only Ford gives you this advanced styling in the low price field next he checks Ford's theme center pillars that give every Fairlane and Fairlane 500 sedan the look of a hardtop when the windows are up here again Ford stands alone in its price class and when he examines Ford's sleek new rear end styling he notices that a Ford doesn't have the high narrow box look he's seen in some other cars the tail fins are sculptured and sweep out of the body for a trim low look and Ford's taillights are the largest in its field and the optional backup lights are built right in not tacked on like other cars for a real sleek touch you'll find most all of these same features in the low-priced custom and custom 300 Ford's - Plus features you can get in other cars only if you pay that the looks model prices be a comparison shopper yourself check the new kind of Ford against the others you'll find the 57 Ford gives you more value per dollar than any other car
