Is it any wonder that Fairlane/Torino is the best selling car in its class! Out there on the big banked tracks of the NASCAR circuit it's flat out go — no favors asked, none given. All the Grand National brutes (Torinos, Road Runners, Chargers and all the others) are specially prepared and modified and driven by the world's best professionals. So what it all grinds down to is the fact that the car that took the checkered flag packed an extra lot of something the others couldn't come up with. And the fact is that Torino has won 6 out of 9 major NASCAR races held so far this year.

One further fact: The Ford engineers who create the winners on Sunday have built into the Torinos you drive on Monday the kind of ruggedness and reliability you need.

Torino hardtops, fastbacks and sedans have a full 116-inch wheelbase (longer than 38 competing models) for a smoother ride, more room, and up to 20% more trunk space. There's a whole range of Six and V-8 engines and a total of 14 models to choose from.

So get in a Torino and know what it’s like to drive THE LEADER!
