Miracle on Main Street |
with Ernie Ford: |
|
(circa 1957) |
Now, the Ernie Ford players present "Miracle
on Main Street", starring...well you know what
kind of a car this is, cause there's not another like
it in the world. This is the fabulous Ford Skyliner
in person.
You know, I own a Skyliner like this one
and I've probably put the top up and down a hundred
times, but still every time I push the button that
starts all this goin', I get as excited as a kid with
a brand new toy.
By now, I guess everybody knows what
the Skyliner does, how it changes from a steel hard-top
to a wide open convertible and back again just by touching
a button. Now, hold her just right there. Look, look
at all the luggage the Skyliner can swallow up.
Even
with the top down you can carry all the luggage you'll
need on that next trip away from home. OK, lower away.
You know, the Skyliner is really two fine cars in one,
and you can choose the one you want as often as you
want.
The top mechanism is designed like an expensive
watch, and Ford's engineers have tested it thousands
of times without mechanical failure. And of course
like every Ford it has safety glass in every window.
Now here's a suprise, the Skyliner is priced lower
than most medium priced soft-top convertibles. Miracle
on Main Street, it sure is. But miracles are a habit
with Ford, where it's a tradition to be first with
the newest and the finest.
Now with the operation completed,
notice that sleek sweep of the rear deck. There's no
roof there, in fact no sign of a top at all. Visit
your Ford dealer soon and try out the world's only
retractable hard-top, the Ford Skyliner. |
