They did have lots of sound insulation but there was also careful attention to body and frame tuning vis a vis mounting points and materials. The quiet was “built-in” as the ads used to say. This was apparent to me even as a 4 year old, as my dad used to get a new Ford every year in those days-And the contrast from the ’64 to the ’65 was drastic. You couldnt even hear the engine running inside of it, whereas in the 64 it was quite evident.
Pardon me while I state the obvious, but does quiet confer quality or gobs of sound deadening?

Ford kept that going with LTD through the 70s. Remember the rolling Bris spoof ad on SNL?
It appears my instructions have been effective! 😉
