THEN LOOK AT THE PRICE
Considering what you get, tie Ford V-8 I
the lowest priced car in America.
No other car with a V- 8 engine can be had
within a thousand dollars of its price.
These are just plain facts. Price is not the
most important thing about a car. But in the
Ford V8 you get a big, roomy car with a V-8
engine, a 112-inch wheelbase, and a low price
too. A car with fine quality in the unseen parts
as well as where it shows. A car that is econom
ical to run and stays out of the repair shop.
Check up on what you get and what it costs
and you will find it pays to put your hard
earned money in a Ford V-8. No extra charge
for Safety Glass all around or 6-inch air-balloon
tires. This applies to ail Ford can.
