Simple fact, Falcon is the only car of the Big Three
to give you the stopping power of front wheel disc
brakes as standard equipment on all models. (I didn’t
know that).
Another interesting fact, Falcon is the
only one of the Big Three to give you the body sensitive
safety, freedom and convenience of fully retractable
inertia reel seat belts, and its standard equipment.
(I didn’t know that).
Apart from Ford Fairmont
there’s one other wagon that gives you a tailgate
that swings down like a tailgate, or swings open like
a door, only it costs over $8000, $3500 more than Fairmont
wagon. (I didn’t know that).
We think it makes
quite a point that taxi operators have registered more
Falcon’s this year than all other makes, 48%
Falcon. (I didn’t know that). Why are more taxi
operators going Falcon?
Because Falcon has a lot more
going for them, it seems Falcon has a lot more going
for everyone, because this year Ford are leaders in
passenger car sales – Number one. (I didn’t
know that).
Now that you know, talk to your Ford dealer.
Going Ford is the Going Thing.
