...England college. Sturdy, ivy-covered buildings, bearing the names of the university's pioneers and benefactors-Dodge, Post, Jesup, West-are flanked by the gleaming modern new engineering building and library. Though the university is largely supported by U.S. oil-company donations and grants from the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, plus $1,000,000 a year from the U.S. Government for scholarships, it is so scrupulous of its impartiality that it gives only one course in American history and offers some of the best courses in the Arab world on Arab civilization...
...Ford plans major changes, hopes in 1958 to add even more to its 30.1% of the market (up 3.5% from last year). Chief Designer George Walker, who has been responsible for much of Ford's long, low styling since 1949, has primped every member of the family to provide something for all pocketbooks and tastes. The new Ford look...
EDSEL, first of the 1958 models (to be introduced on Aug. 27) and a car that cost Ford $250 million to get ready for production, is no radical car of the future. Yet it has enough new gadgets to intrigue most motorists, e.g., an elaborate dashboard whose speedometer glows red when the car reaches a preset speed, an automatic transmission with buttons in the center of the steering wheel. The engine will be a V-8 with a horsepower rating around...
...FORD, leading Chevrolet for the No. 1 spot in 1957, aims to sew up the lead in 1958. It will be even flashier, with a startling new grille, dual headlights and enormous taillights running horizontally across the rear end of the car. To compete with Chevy's new engine, Ford will bring out a bigger (332 cu. in.) V-8 for its Fairlane series. Another big change: Ford's 1958 Thunderbird will jump into the family-car class with a new 113-in.-wheelbase model that has a back seat...
...Ford has completely restyled the 1958 Lincoln. The Mark II Continental has been discontinued, but Ford has saved the name for its highest-priced Lincoln, which will be set apart by different trim, quality gadgets such as a retractable back-up light. Ford hopes to make Lincoln 1958's handsomest auto. In any case, it will certainly be the largest-229 in. in overall length, 3 in. longer than Chrysler's Imperial, and 9 in. longer than G.M.'s competing Cadillac...
