THE 25-MILLIONTn
W (D) m ED
HA $ JUST BEEN BUILT
It has never occurred before in auto
mobile history that 25 million cars of
one make, bearing one name, have
been manufactured under one man
agement. The 25,000,000th Ford car
rolled off the Ford Rouge Plant pro
duction line on January 18, 1937.
25 million cars since 1903 . . . more
than one-third of all the cars ever
built , . . enough cars to transport the
entire population of the United States.
The figures represent a remarkable
contribution to the social welfare, the
industrial stability and the general
progress of our country.
People respect Ford efficiency. They
know Ford uses fine materials, the
best workmanship at good wages, the
most exact precision measurements.
They know these things are passed
along to purchasers in the form of
extra value. Naturally, they like to
do business with such a company.
That is the only reason it has been
required to produce 25 million cars.
Naturally, too, they expect
more of a Ford car, more this
year than last year more
each year than the year before. They
have every right to. The experience
gained in building 25,000,000 cars en
ables Ford to produce today a really
superb motor car at a really low price
with the Beauty, Comfort, Safety
and Performance of much more ex
pensive cars.
The 1937 Ford V-8 combines ad
vanced design, all-steel construction,
extra body room, and brilliant brakes
with a choice of two V-type 8-cylin-der
engines the most modern type
of power-plant on land, sea, or in
the air.
The 85-horscpower engine provides
top performance with unusually good
economy for its high power.
The 60-horsepower engine gives
good performance with the greatest
gasoline mileage ever built into a Ford
car and wears the lowest Ford
price
tag in years.
People expect more of a Ford car
because it's a Ford and they get
more, for the same reason. It
IJjfyOj) " undeniably the quality car
in the low-price field.
