Tel. 631 D E P A R T M K N T 1 '. li L U A N K : : ,0 - '( ', ' . , $ i ' ' Until wa learned better, we used to mix wood and steel In oar oar bodies and wheels. It was the best way to make bodies then. But the state of the art has advanced. Of course, it is more expensive to make an. all-steel body than -to make a wocden frame and nail steel panels on to it. The better way in volves an initial expenditure of several millions of dollars for new dies, which renders a change very costly. Cars, espeolally large expensive oars which are produced in small volume, cannot afford thi3, because the dies cost as much for one car as for a million. That alone explains why all steel bodies are not used in all cars. But our basio. policy from the beginning is to make a good oar better, regardless of cost. For example, when we discarded wood-steel body oonstruotlon, it was not because we lacked wood. We still have some thousands of acres of the best hard wood in America. Economy would urge us to use up the wood first, and then adopt the better all-steel body. But we decided that quality was more important., than expense. We weighed the reasons, for and against, before we made the change. We could see only one reason for retaining a mixed wood-and-steel body nailing the metal on, instead of welding an all-steel body into a strong one-piece whole. That reason was, it would be cheapei? for us. Our reasons for adopting an all-steel body were these: A wood-steel body is not much stronger structurally than its wooden frame. In all American climates, wood construction weakens with age. Every used car lot gives evidence of this. Rain seeps in between joints and the wood decays. . A car may have a metal surface, and yet not be of steel construction. Under extreme shock or stress the steel body remains intact dented per haps, but not crushed. . Steel does not need wood for strength or protection. Wood is fine for furniture, but not for the high speed vehloles of 1933. In the Ford body there are no joints to .squeak, no seams to crack or leak. The all-steel body is more expensive to us, but not to you. By all odds, then, steel bodies seem preferable. ' Wheels also have become all-steel. No one argues that an eleotrically welded one-piece steel wheel, such as the Ford wheel, needs to be "strengthened" by adding wood to it. The one-piece all-steel body is the strongest, safest, quietest, most durable body made. That is our only reason for making them. July 21. 1933 r
