You hear a lot about "the low-price field" these days. A good many cars claim to be in it So whenever the low-price field is mentioned. remember: Until Ford came, no average American could own a car. Today all Ford prices are still low with the prices of the 60-horsepower Ford V-8 $30 to $60 lower than the prices of any other car of comparable size. But with Ford, "low price" doesn't merely mean low figures on the price tag. It means much more. It means low prices and low costs all the car's long life. Low prices for service for parts and, above all, for operation. Both Ford V-8 engine sizes are economical to operate. The 85-horsepower gives greater gasoline mileage this year than ever, and the 60-horsepower delivers the highest mileage in Ford history. Private owners, cab companies, fleet operators all report that the "60" averages from 22 to 27 miles per gallon of gasoline. Check and see how much Ford saves you.
