HEW 1941 In some years, some cars take a big jump ahead. The Ford does that for 1941. It has jumped ahead in size. It's the biggest Ford we've ever built, inside ant nut. It's wider. It has a longer wheelba.te. Its seating room is wider by as much as 7 inches. It has new wide doors and semi-concealed running boards. You'll notice also a new beauty, achieved by a skilful blending of mass with longer flowing lines. Larger wind - shield and windows jive bet ter vision all around. One of its biggest advan tages is the new soft ride. New, slovvcr-action springs give a slow, gentle, gliding movement. A newly designed stabilizer helps absorb road shocks, and maintains bal ance on sharp curves and in cross winds. More rapid acceleration to match its familiar speed and power makes this new Ford an even livelier car to drive. These are only a few of this new car's outstanding features. It represents all the rich experience gained in building more than 28 mil lion motor cars. Any Ford dealer can give you many good reasons for making this your 1941 car.
