Ford V-type 8-cylinder cars for
1938 went on display yesterday in
Ford dealer showrooms through
out the United States. They are
offered this year as two distinct
lines differing in appearance and
price*. Both are in the lowest price
field.
One is a newly-styled standard
Ford line, in coupe, Tudor and For
dor bocly types, powered either
with the 85 or the 60 horsepower
V-8 engine. The standard cars are
designed to meet requirements of
the many motor car owners, whose
means dictate maximum economy
in first cost, as well as in main
tenance and operating costs.
The other is a newly-designed
de luxe line for owners who desire
additional style and appointments.
Powered only with the 85 horse
power V-8 engine, the line includes
eight body types, the coupe, Tu
dor and Fordor sedans, as well as
the club coupe, convertible cabri
olet, club convertible cabriolet, con
vertible sedan and the p'laeton.
The two lines of cars have the
same improved V-8 chassis, but
their styling is distinctly different.
The de luxe cars are larger in
appearance. The hood has been
lengthened. Its nearly vertical
front is carried in a “V” well down
into the radiator grille, with the
familiar V-8 emblem at the tip of
the “V”. Horizontal lines of the
grille bars and the louvres are
echoed in a bright rustless steel
band which is carried along the
belt to the rear.
The new standard line cars also
present a larger appearance _ with
a newly-designed front end, 'grille,
hood and fenders. The front end
is formed in a "V”, with the hori
zontal grille bars extending un
broken along the hoodside to form
the louvres.
Fenders in both cars are mas
sive, formed lower to provide more
complete coverage of the running
gear and extending farther back.
Headlamps are again recessed in
front fender aprons, new type tail
lamps in the tips Of rear fenders.
Interiors of the two cars are
roomy and attractive, styled in
keeping with the exteriors. The
de luxe sedan interiors are larger.

Ford offers two new cars for 1938—
the Standard Ford V-8 and the De
Luxe Ford V-8. They are different in ap
pearance— but built to the same high
standard of mechanical excellence — on
the same chassis.
Because people liked our 1937 car so
well, they bought more, than of any other
make. They liked its looks, its smooth
performance, and the way it handled. We
have improved on that car in the newly
styled Standard Ford V-8.
But some folks wanted still more size
and style, with the same Ford advahtages.
For them, we designed a new De Luxe line.
The De Luxe Ford V-8 Sedans are longer
with more room, larger luggage space,
and finer appointments all around.
De Luxe cars are equipped with the 85
horsepower engine only.
The Standard is even lower priced than
the De Luxe. It has graceful new lines
and well-tailored interiors—with a choice
of engine sizes—85 or 60 horsepower.
Before Ford made V-type 8-cylinder en
gines available to every one, they were
used only in expensive cars. Since then,
four million Ford owners have learned
the genuine enjoyment of driving an eight
cylinder car with all-around economy.
The thrifty “60” engine, especially, makes
possible in Standard models a very low
first cost and equally low operating cost.
With two distinct designs, two engine
sizes and two price ranges, you’ll find a
1938 Ford car to fit your needs exactly.
