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.
