 Power-Operated Sunroof allows you to see the moon and the stars at the touch of a button. Touch button again to seal tightly against cold and rain. Although featured heavily in 1971 sales literature, this was still a very rare option. |

Automatic Fingertip Speed Control, with controls mounted on the steering wheel spokes, turns system on or off, sets speed, or allows system to coast to a lower speed. A touch of the brake, and the system is off. Michelin Single-Band White Sidewall Steel-Belted Radial-Ply Tires, and Manual Reclining Passenger Seat are the other items included in this group. |

 Electric Defrost rear window makes removal of ice and/or snow a breeze. Flick a switch on the instrument panel, and grids in the glass do the work for you! Despite being available since 1969, this item was still not a common option in 1971. A Rear Window Defogger was also available, which utilized a two speed fan to blow air on the inside of the window to reduce fogging and remove moisture. It also helped melt ice, and improved air circulation to the rear seat. |
|
 Tilt Steering Wheel, left, allows driver to adjust the tilt of the wheel to his or her preference.
Very nice on long trips and when entering or exiting the car. Turn signal
lever is pushed forward toward instrument panel to release lock, and is
spring loaded to return to locked position when released. There are a total
of 9 different tilt positions.Manual Reclining Passenger Seat, below left, is available to make long trips more restful.  |

 AM/FM Stereo Radio: Made by Bendix for Ford featured five AM and five FM station preset buttons.
The dial flipped to indicate AM or FM band. Front-to-rear and side-to-side
balance controls allowed the sound to be tailored perfectly. Four speakers
were provided, one speaker in each front door armrest, and in each corner
of package tray behind rear seat. This unit received rave reviews from
automotive critics of the time for its high fidelity sound, reception,
and overall quality. |
