Description
Ford Torino – Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that has a Brown Gran Torino Hardtop with a Black Vinyl Roof parked at the bottom of the ad. Above this is a picture of a man sitting and looking upward into the camera under the headline “We expect you to say “prove it” when we tell you Ford Torino is the year’s best mid-size value. Okay. Proof:”. The ad text gives the proof by saying that “Torino has an all-new body/frame construction for strength and quiet”. It then adds that “Torino is bigger inside this year” and that “Torino has a new improved rear suspension to reduce body sway and take the bite out of bumps”. It then says that “Torino has new, better power-steering, if you choose, that gives you the feel of the road and quick positive handling” as well as “And Torino gives you front wheel disc brakes. Standard”. And then, to finish it up, they tell us that “Torino’s even built a little heavier and a little wider for a better ride and greater stability”. They also mention that there are now 9 different models to choose from, including the first Gran Torino.
