ITS 100 H.P. V-8 ENGINE PURRS QUALITY
It’s an engine that’s as powerful as a herd of reindeer
—and as silent as the night before Christmas! Yes,
Ford offers you the only 100 h.p. engine—the only
V-8 engine—in the low-price field. Yet the ’SO Ford,
with this engine, sells for less than most Sixes.
IT’S THE ONE FIAE CAR
IN THE LOW-PRICE I 'ELD
With Ford’s quality-car power, you get quality-car
’’feel,” too! For Fora’s "Hydra-Coil’" and "Para-Flex”
Springs make the bumps feel like they aren’t there—
and Ford’s "Mid Ship’’ Ride is as smooth as silk.
From its soft foam rubber front seat to its bqautiful
baked on-finish, Ford leads its field in quality.

NEW "HUSHED” RIDE, TOO!
Drive a ’SO Ford and you’ll notice quiet that whispers
quality. The powerful V-8 engine whispers while it
works. And doors, roof, and body panels are "sound
conditioned” against road noises. Even the 13-way
stronger "Lifeguard” Body adds to the quiet. But
drive it yourself and see why no other car delivers
so much for your money.
