Description
Ford Falcon Sports Futura – Full color 10″ x 13″ ad that introduces the New Falcon Sports Futura. There are a total of seven pictures in this ad that have something to do with the ultimate looks of this amazing car. The biggest picture shows a Light Blue Falcon with a darker vinyl top parked there while behind it is a three-piece band playing while an attractive young lady is “enjoying their music”. There is another picture of a man playing with his drum sticks on a front wheel and another of the man playing the trombone stretching it out over both front seats. There are two with the jovial lady, one with her laying on the rear window of the car laughing as she holds a trumpet and the other has her standing in front of the car with a hat half-way over her face. This last picture also has a saying in it, “The lively ones come from Ford“. The ad text indicates that “Here’s a hot new number from the compact leader. The tempo starts fast with bucket seats, a console in between, carpeting and an optional 4-speed stick shift…hits a new high note with a stylish new Thunderbird roof (vinyl covered if you want)…then goes into the lively melody of an optional 170 Special Six. Economy with a flair is the Sports Futura idea: more gas savings…6,000 miles between oil changes…and a price below many standard compacts”.
