FORD V-8 N Style U wrlttn U over th new Ford V-8 for 19351 That l the verdict of million of those who viewed the new Pord crea tion during the first 48 hours after it made Its debut to the motoring pub llo last Saturday. The grille, hood, bodies, fenders," Umps, wheels. In fact the entire car, from bumper to bumper, ".ias been re etyled. However, the styling of the Ford for 1935 has not overshadowed the mechanical Improvements. Spe cial attention has been given to rid ing comfort and ease of control. In cluding spring suspension, weight distribution, paspenger position, clutch action, broking and steering. Throughout the' chassis effort has been made to keep overall weight as low as possible. Ford has adopted "center poise" to summarize three principle groups of design elements which have been combined In an ef fort to obtain Improved riding com fort. The first group relates to the spring suspension system. The Ford trans verse method of spring mounting Is retained but it has been completely re -designed, with new front and rear springs, a new frame, radius rods and other allied parts. Both springs are longer, the front being 7 6-8 inches longer than on the 1934 car. The front spring Is also wider, by Vi of an inch. The frame la entirely new and at tention has been directed toward In creasing Its rigidity. The second group of features con tributing to Improved riding comfort rtvolvee around a completely new distribution of chassis and body weight. The engine has been moved forward 3 'a inches and is now partly over the front axle. This results In an almost equal distribution of weight between tjs front and rear axles. Coincident with moving the engine forward, the torque tube and drive shaft have been made longer. The drive shaft has been increased in di ameter from 1 Inches to 2'2 Inches. The axle tread has been increased from 66.68 to 68.26 Inches to afford pace for the larger tires and permit wider rear seat cushion. The third feature involved In ob taining greater riding comfort Is a efcange In passenger location. Advan ce has been tnken of the forward position of the engine to move the frant a rear seats forward a corre sponding distance. Thus both the Swt and rear sent passengers are pfeeea clos to the cen?r of the cWisw. In addition to the thrsy factars caatrlbuting directly t "centerpofce" riding comfort is also lncr by fcrapr tires and smaller wheels. igm www KX3TJE RIVER. Jan. 12.

Riverside Phone 303 The New Ford V-8 for 1935 A New Kind of Motor Car-Designed for Easy Riding Sf&Wy&t! i vv, nginyrw "HIM , k' , ' -j. fil" C ' f L V-i NEW SEAT POSITION NEW WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION NEW, LONGER, MORE FLEXIBLE SPRINGS In the New Ford V-8 or 1935, oil the weight of car and passengers is correctly balanced and distributed. Seats are moved forward so that passengers on the rear seat ride nearer the center of the car. This, with new spring suspension, and longer and more flexible springs, gives new smoothness, ease and riding comfort on every road. For 1935, Ford has taken another rev olutionary step forward. To the proved performance of the famous Ford V- 8 engine has been added remarkable riding comfort. And the entire car has been clothed with a new and modem beauty, both inside and out. The illustration on this page shows the distinctive modem lines of the New Ford V-8 for 1935. When you see the car in the showrooms or on the road you notice at once its larger size as well as its handsome appear ance. It is longer, with more body room, more leg room and more bag gage room. It is lower to the ground easier to step in and out. The front seats are as much as 5i inches wider in some body types. The curved gear shift lever gives additional front-seat comfort. NEW, LONGER SPRINGS OF UNUSUAL FLEXIBILITY The springing of the New Ford V-8 for 1935 is entirely new. The springbase of the ear (the distance from the front to the rear spring) is 123 inches, or eleven inches longer than the wheel base. This has been accomplished by mounting the front spring in front of (he front axle and the back spring in back of the rear axle. This design ' gives you increased comfort without sacrificing ease of handling. Front and roar springs at longer and more flexible, with tapered leaves for the most effective spring action and quieter operation. NEW FEATURES FOR SAFETY.
