T he enjoyment you’ll get out of a Ford touring
car this summer, is another good reason why
you should no longer ixjstpone buying.
You, your family anti friends can benefit by pleas
ant trips at minimum cost—evening drives, week
end excursions or a 1 ing tour on your vacation.
Buy a Ford, if ycu want a car that is always
reliable, simple to handle, needs almost no care,
and carries you at lowest cost.
