Millions of Model T Fords are still in active service FOR nearly twenty years, the M odel T Ford led the motor industry and it still is used by more people than any other autom obile. M ore than eight million M odel T Fords are in active service today— an indication o f their sturdy worth, reliability and econom y. Because o f the tremendous investment which people have in these cars and because so many o f them will be driven for two, three, and even five more years, the Ford M otor Company will continue to make replacement parts until, as H enry Ford him self says, "the last M odel T is off the road,” For the Ford M otor Com pany has always believed that its full duty consists not only in making a good automobile at a low price, but also in keeping it running efficiently for you as long as possible at a minimum o f expense. N o matter where you live, therefore, you can still buy M odel T Ford parts with the same assurance as formerly, knowing that they will give you the kind o f service you have a right to expect, and at the same time protect the m oney you have invested in your car. A ll Ford replacement parts, as you may know, are made o f the same materials and in the same way as those from which your car was originally assembled, and are low in price because o f the established Ford policy. So that you may get the greatest use from your M odel T Ford over the longest period o f time, we suggest that you take the car to the nearest Ford dealer and have him esti mate on the cost o f any replacement parts which may be necessary. Y ou may find that a very small expenditure will maintain the value o f your car and will be the means of giving you thousands o f miles o f additional service.
