NEW FORD CARS ARE ANNOUNCED New Cars Are Big, Substan tial and Powerful In Appearance MANY NEW FEATURES Enriched by refinements made possible by the manufacture un der a single unified management of five cars which virtually bracket the motor car market, the Ford V-8 and the deluxe Ford V-8 cars for 1940, an nounced today, present notable advances in styling, comfort, con venience and safety. The new cars are big, substan tial and powerful in appearance. Body lines are pleasingly stream lined. Front end designs are distinctively modern, with low radiator grills, long hoods and deeply rounded fenders. The trimly tailored interiors are big and roomy, with plenty of seat room, leg room, eltyow room and shoulder room. Two V-8 engine* are available, an 85 horsepower engine in the Ford V-8 and the deluxe Ford V-8, with a 60 horsepower engine cptional in the Ford V-8. Pour Ford V-8 and five deluxe body types comprise the two lines. A new business coupe as well as a Pordor sedan, Tudor sedan and coupe are available in both. There is also a deluxe convertible club coupe with automatic top as standard equipment. Three color choices are available in the Ford V-8, six in the deluxe line. An important new feature of the cars is a finger-tip gearshift mounted on the steering column under the two-spoke steering wheel. This provides increased room for driver and passengers in the front compartment. There is also a new controlled ventila tion system. New Sealed-Beam headlamps are used on all types, i providing greatly increased driv ing vision at night. On the 85 horsepower cars, an improved spring suspension with a longer, more flexible front spring, and a torsion bar ride stabilizer provide an exceptional ly comfortable steady ride. The ride-stabilizer also contributes to firmer, easier steering. Front and rear springs of deluxe cars are equipped with metal covers. Large double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers with self-sealing construction are fitted on all cars. Comfort features are emphasiz ed throughout the design. Seats are built for restful riding. Front seat backs are of new resilient type. Cushions have a new "floating" edge. Driver's seats are adjustable two ways—they rise as they are moved forward. Bodies are scientifically sound proofed, shutting out road noises. An "easy-shift" transmission, per mitting speeds to be changed quietly; new design curved disc wheels and improved drums for the highly effective, quick-stop ping hydraulic brakes also con tribute to quietness. The interiors of the cars ap pear in new decorative schemes. A pleasing color treatment in maroon and sand duotone dis tinguishes the interiors of the Ford V-8. In deluxe cars, win dow and door frames are finish ed in dark mahogany, hardware in rich maroon, knobs and es cutcheon plates in sand, with striped mohair or broadcloth up holstery also in sand. In the Ford V-8, door and window mold ings are in bleached walnut fin ish, handles are chrome-plated, with knobs and escutcheons in sand colored plastic. Upholstery is in taupe. Instrument panels harmonize with the interior styling. Gauges are grouped in front of the dis tinctive steering wheel. A grille for installation of radio speaker, glove compartment with lock, two ash trays and a cigar lighter are provided on the panel.
