This demonstration of car buyers' preference is proof that the V-8 engine is best suited to modern motoring needs. For 1934, Ford lias stepped even farther out front with the revolutionary new Ford Y-Block V-8 . . . the most modern "eight" in any car at any price! This new deep-block, low-friction engine brings you even smoother, quieter power . . . even longer engine life and less gas waste. And this great, overhead valve V-8 costs less than any other "eight ". . . less than prac tically any other "six," too. But the new Y-block V-8 engine is only one of the many "Worth More" features you get in a V-8 Ford. You also get the smoother riding and easier handling of Ford's new Ball-Joint Front Sus pension. You get vour pick of 14 brilliant new body styles with trend-setting interiors.
