room for two traffic lanes, Mr. Ja

STAY IN THE LOW-PRICE FIELD
BUT
STEP UP TO THE V-8 CLASS
FORD V-8 PRICES BEGIN AT
'533
DUrVtMO IN DITtOn TAJtU 1X7 HA
When you are asked to pay "Just a Few Dollars
More" than Ford prices, go slow. Be sure you're
actually getting more car and bigger value and not
just a bigger bill. It may be easy to spend more money,
but it's not easy to get more car at anywhere near the
same prices.
When you pay more, you should get performance at
least as flashing as Ford performance. You should get
at least an 8-cylinder engine. You should get positive
brakes that will stop the car at least as quickly and
smoothly as Ford brakes do. Will you get all these?
Will you get at least as much room? Most cars that
boast a little longer wheelbase, waste space under the
hood with a much longer engine. The Ford V- 8 gives
you room in the body where you can use it.
Check claims. Get facts. Make sure that any extra
amount you plan to pay brings you corresponding
extra value above the price of the Ford.
Finally, remember that the real reason why more
than a million 1937 Ford V-8s have already been built
is that America recognizes it as an outstanding car and
the outstanding value for 1937.
