“How is it he never takes you
to the theater any more?"
“Well, one evening it rained
and we sat in the parlor.”
A very important feature of
the New Model A Ford Car is the
use of RUSTLESS STEEL in all
exposed metal parts, such as the
radiator shell, hub caps, head
lights, etc. Rustless steel is made
by combining steel and pure
chromium
The rustless steel used in the
Model A Ford is 18% pure chrom
ium or nearly 1-5. This is v;,vs
important as it will not tarnish,
peel or crack off. Rustless steel
means the same thing as Sterling
silver. Chromium plated means
the same as plated silverware.
