MODEL “A” ROADSTER
’ APPEALS TO YOUTH
OF TODAY
PROGRAM
! ..faNnin county fair
OCTOBER I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1929
“Youth ha? been served ideally in
the realm of motor cars^y^the Mode)
^“A Ford roadster,” said'MBler-Yatee,
®r local .Ford dealer, in commenting on
the present day tendency of a great
many families to provide a. motor ^
car for every member .
“Adults of today have, come to re-
cognize,” said Mr. Yates “that youth
is just as important a period in life
ah maturity. We have it but once,
and its problems are rvwrmore vital
than those of out^seahoned years.
Time is as real a (factor) to youth os
to are, and the yoAng.man and young
woman are as interested in quick
transportation as are their elders.
“The Ford Roadster is an auto-
* mobile that is well adapted for adults
either for pleasure or business pur-
£ poses, having the quickness in traffic,
$he speed, comfort and stability that
characterize the new Ford. But it
possesses also the freedom and ex-
hilaration of the open car on the
open road, and because of the ease
with which it may be handled, is an
ideal car for the younger members
•f the family.
“It should be borne in mind that
large numbers of young men and
young women of the present day are
excellent automobile drivers, having
dexterity and quickened reactions
from their athletic contests that many
adults to not possess. Due to the
trend to a larger number of motor
cars for the family, it is expected
0 that the Ford roadster will be one
of the popular Ford types during the
coming vacation period.
“The roadster is available in dif-
ferent colors, has the quiet; collaps- i
ing top that ma- be handled easily
by one person, and a wide, comfort-
able seat. The ro.»<Jster is available
