by K(i'l H. Kurd, president of the
I-'onl .Motor company:
Tht new Konl n utoniobile is
now aii uceompllfthfil furl. The
eiurtnerinic problem nff":tinir its
dcsin anU equipment unU itfiectliiK
also Its iimnmut.tuie have all been
solved.
"Hut before a sinule enr of the
new typu In oftered for sale to thti
public each, part will have been
tested under every condition which
we huvu been able to discover in
more than 20 years of building
autoinoMUs for use all over l lit;
world.

"Wo know now exactly wh:it this
new car is. We haw built a num
ber of these cars and I hey have
haw been performing even better
t hun wo had hoped for under a
variety of conditions.
"We Know also what is needed
as to personnel and factory equip
ment in order to produce these
ii "w Kord cars in greater numbers
than any manufacturer Jiuh ever
attempted before. The work of
retooling our plants throughout the
country to prepare for the heaviest
production schedule we have ever
undertaken, i now nearly com
plete. "Hut we realize that any new
riiitomobile that is to gain and hold
public esteem today, whether it
sunt! sell for $fto or HUtuu,
must perform exactly as it is de
signed to perform. No automobile
manufacturer, in this day and time,
should utlow the public to do his
testing and proving for iilm. The
Ford .Motor company cannot afford
to permit the automobile user to
discover Imperfection lu theso
new mode in.
"We haven't discovered any
faults in the finished new Kord
ear, but we are taking nothtng for
granted. IT there are any faults
they shtill be found and remedied
before any of the cars are offered
for stile.
"When the Model T Ford car
was designed more I hun L'D years
ago, no one could foresee the wide
varlcly of conditions under which
tt would operate. It did not oc
cur to us that" that automobile,
would bo expected to perforin as
satisfactorily in Alaska as in South
Africa. Wo knew little about the

equipment. W had yet lo dis
cover that carburt'tion at sea
level presented one definite prob
lem, w lille carburet ion at very
high altitudes presented an entire
ly different problem.
"Many of these difficulties were
first brought lo light by people who
had bought our cars and used
t lu-iii under those diverse condi
tions. Those people put their cars
to tests which we could not have
foreseen and could not have dupli
cated in that day. We had to
remedy faults us they were dis
covered by the car owners in act
ual USe.
To llae Thorough Ti"t
"Hut years of manufacture
have taught uh that the only good
automobile is the automobile which
will do what it is designed to do
wherever it is put to work. The
experience of those L'O years lias
taught us also that the public of
today knows more, about automo
biles than ever before and expects
molt of them.
"The building and testing of
these first new cars is costing mil
lions of dollars. Hut it will give
us the complete asMii ranee that
we are offering the public a car
tested ftm proven as a new car
should be.
"Some of the things we have
discovered already in the tests of
thes new cars are interesting.
"We have accomplished with
them a speed of (if miles per hour
which is slightly higher than we
hud expected.
"We have foind t hat they can
be driven for hours at an average
speed of more than fifty miles per
hour, without discomfort to driver
and passengers and without harm
to motor and oilier equipment.
110 Miles in Two Hours
"In a recent est one of these
new cars wuh driven 1 in miles In
tw o Lours. I Hiring the first half
hnur the car traveled L'7 miles. The
cur covered exactly ti.l miles the
first hour of the trip.
"This test was made over aver
age road conditions, I 'art of. the
rout v lay t h rough level country
and p'irt through hill country
where the roads were sleep and
winding. The day on which J he
test was made was somewhat
warmer than the average summer
day in this part of the country, but
the motor was not overheated dur
ing the run and examination of the
motor at the conclusion of the run
disclosed no 111 effeets. The car
consumed )'hh gasoline and oil dur
ing the test than any of our previ
ous models we have put to similar
tests. The. ignition, cooling and
carburet ion systems performed
perfectly throughout the trip.
"We have tested this new c:ir
for getaway and pickup with many
other types of automobiles and
have found t hat it sur passes all
of them wit h one excevition in
quick hi a it in g and acceleration.
