THE substantial worth o f the new Ford is reflected in
its good performance, economy and reliability. Its
stamina and endurance are particularly apparent in
sections where bad roads and severe weather put a heavy
extra burden on the automobile.
In less than a year a new Ford Tudor Sedan was
driven more than seventy-three thousand miles over a
difficult route. The operating cost per mile was very low
and practically the only expense for repairs was for new
piston rings and a new bearing for the generator.
The ear carried an average load of 1200 pounds of
mail and was driven 250 miles daily. “The Ford has
never failed to go when I was ready,” writes one of the
three mail carriers operating the car. “The starter did
the trick last winter even at 34 degrees below zero. The
gas runs about 20 miles per gallon. At times I pull a
trailer whenever I have a bulky load.”
Many other Ford owners report the same satisfactory
performance. Every part has been made to endure__to
serve yon faithfully and well for many thousands of
