DETROIT, Feb. 13 OP) When Henry
Ford told about the V-type elht and
nie uiyjroveu iour ne is soon to
prcduco, bo hardly scratched the sur
face of what fellow leaders of the
industry would like to know about
his plans.
Leaders of the automotive world
generally believe another announce

with tho Intoduction of the new mod
els, of new plans the Ford Motor com
pany has for breaking down the sales
resistance which has all but throttled
the industry for the last two years.
Many Kumora
Only production plans were cov-;

Tho rest was left to rumor, and there
are plenty of them.
One Is that a new financing plan

The rumor Is not now subject to

will be offered for $100 down, with
two years allowed to pay off the bal

automotive men are convinced anv
changes made will represent an eas
ing of credit to potential buyers.
. Although the new fours will not
bo introduced until about the first
of March and tho eights some time
later, the quickening of tho tempo
