1960 Ford Anglia

The 1960 Ford Anglia is a model from the 105E series, which debuted in 1959, showcasing a distinctly American-influenced design characterized by a sweeping nose line, muted tailfins, and a backward-slanted rear window reminiscent of late 1950s American vehicles. This model is powered by the 997 cc overhead valve (OHV) Kent engine, optimized for improved performance compared to its predecessors, producing a more responsive driving experience. The typical transmission is a four-speed manual, featuring synchromesh on the top three forward gears for smoother shifting. Notable upgrades include the transition to electrically powered windscreen wipers, enhancing functionality over the previous vacuum system, along with a MacPherson-strut independent front suspension that contributes to a more comfortable ride. The combination of these features makes the 1960 Ford Anglia a unique representation of the era’s automotive design and engineering advancements.
