The New Ford V-8 for 1935 is
the biggest and roomiest Ford
car ever built. It is a strik-
ingly handsome car, with mod-
em lines and new, luxurious
appointments.
But most important of all it
is especiaUy-designe'd to give
you smooth, easy riding over
all kinds of roads — ”a front-
seat ride for back-seat riders."
This ease of riding is
achieved by the use of three basic prin-
ciples never before combined in a low-
price car.
1. Correct distribution of car weight
by moving engine and body forward
eight and a half inches.
2. New location of seats by which th#
rear seat is moved forward, toward the
center of Ah© car—away from the rear
axle and away from the bumps.
3. New spring suspension which per-
mits the use of longer, more flexible^
springs and increases the springbase to
123 inches.
—- The result is Center-Poise — which not
only gives you a new riding comfort but
adds to the stability of the car and its

ease of handling. You can take curves
with greater safety.
There are many new features in the
;„Yl® I9LJ935 which make the car
still easier to drive. New .brakes give
more power for stopping quickly with
far less foot pressure on the pedal.
A new type of easy-pressure clutch
employs centrifugal force to increase ef-
ficiency at higher speeds. New steering
mechanism makes the car still easier
to handle. New, wider, roomier sfeats.
The New Ford V- 8 for 1935 retains the *
V-8 engine which has demonstrated its
dependability and economy in the ser-
vice of more than a million owners;
There are refinements, but no change in
basic design. You buy pre-
mium performance when you
buy this Ford V-8-full 85
horsepower and capable of 80
miles an hour. All Ford V-8
cars for 1935 come equipped
with Safety Glass throughout
at no additional cost.
We invite you to see this
New Ford V-8 for 1935 at the
showrooms of Ford dealers.
You will want to ride in if —
to drive it yourself. You will find it a
new experience in motoring.
