From the
world's largest
maker,
a completely new kind of V-8
The V-8 engine lias come a long way since Ford introtluceii its
first V-8 over 22 years ago. During these years, preference for
the V-8 engine has grown steadily . . . and today there are
twice as muny V-8's 'ing built as there were ritftt after World
War 11. 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. And you can have power steering,
power brakes, power windows, power front seat, and Fordo-
matic Drive as options.
