7 BASIC ESSENTIALS OF A
GREAT LOW-PRICED CAR
In Hio major things, tha Ml things, tha reel
things thot make you waat« ear—at 7 el
them—Ford takas commanding leader-
ship. Hare Is whora Ford axeals:
Bum im Tmmmm hr 7mm Lmhmr
O GOING TOWER: The kind
of power that only the V-8 engine
can provide—the instant response,
lightning acceleration, marvelous
economy and swift, smooth, faith-
ful performance. 6,000,000 Ford
V-Eights— more than an other
Eights combined—say this is the
power plant for you!
0 STOPPING TOWER: The
big hydraulic brakes of the Ford
V-8 are far and away the big-
gest in the low-priced field—a
safety factor you’ve got to have
in the new car you buy.
0 POWER TO HOLD THE
ROAD: No car in any price field
excels Ford in roadability—in
keeping “all four feet on the
ground” under all driving condi-
tions. THs meant safety plus
oomfort.
in amazing power does the Ford
V-8 engine excel, but in the
smoothness that gives va/rat
quiet. Everyone knosrs no car
of fewer cylinders can match an
Eight in smoothness.
0 STAMINA: In staying
power there is no car that can
teka tha rough with tha
smooth like Ford. There are
more Fords on the highway than
any other make of car. This
sturdy Ford is made to take it!
0 STYLE: Ford act the cur-
rent modern trend in beauty of
lines. And Ford's unequaled paint
job makes its beauty permanent.
6 COMPLETE ECONOMY:
The combination of low pric^
low cost of operation, high trade-
in value and more extras at no
extra coat, makes the Ford the
great economy buy for 1940,
