Well, if you could tour the wholesale and retail used car auctions around the country, if you could survey hundreds of used car lots you would discover that used Fords bring higher prices than any competitive make—and by substantial amounts. I mu it s Will we feel our ’53 cars should I not be compared with cars in the same price M range. Not liecause our competitors don't do a gixxl job—obviously they do—but because we feel Ford Cars have more in common with the highest priced automobiles. The similarities are far greater than the differences. For example. Today, the most expensive cars in tins country have V-type, 8-cylinder engines. Ford Cars have had this exact same type of engine for over 20 years. \\ hat's more astounding, the current Strato-Star V-8 »ells for hundreds of dollars less than several other makers charge for a six-cylinder car. Now there's nothing wrong with a Six but thev do cost less to make. Ford makes a Six — the most imxlern overhead valve Six in the industry. And it it s a six-cylinder car you want. Ford has it and for less money than the V-8, which is as it should I k . Now The Highway was a««um- ing a place of importance in every ■ation's economv U ithout good roads there could be little contact between Cities and towns between countries themselves Up To The Beginning of the present centurv the stress and strain placed on the average highwav were not too great But with the develop ment of the automobile there came a vast Is new situation Today Good Highways are among the most important needs of an» nation ®r American« hate be come a countrv ol rnotori*!» not onlv do we constantlv use |M»*rng< i car« (•'> business and pleasure but a ateadils increasing percentage of p,-ed» is tran«tx.rir«i I»» tr-ok and Irtiler Our higliwavs are the arteries of the nation the» carrv its very lifeblood II hat about ride' Here's another Forel similarits with high-priced cars . . . Ruling (emfert. One of the* misconceptions for many years has been that weight — sheer weight—is what it takes to make a car ride well, ford has found that you can make a 3000-pntnd car ride softer and hold the road better In far than many cars that weigh a full 1000 pounds more. In the ’53 Ford, for example, front eml road slunk has been reduced up to 80%. We sav it compares most favorably with the heaviest cars sold today. II hat about automatic transmissions? It would take the fingers of both hands to count the various kinds of automatic ami semi-automatic t.ausiiiissions on the market today. I he one vve offer is called Fordomatic. It is the most versatile on the market, it represents the most profound consideration of engine-to-w heel power transfer — ami that it does the best job for our engines isn't even open to question. It shifts better than you could shift by hand. II hat you can see is also important. Here again Ford Cars lead not only in their price field but in the medium and upper brackets as well. Ford visibility is Full-Circle Visibility. This means huge, curved unobstructed glass area, front and rear, plus side windows that allow all passengers what the hotels call "room with a view. Appearance? A higher price, of course, does not make a car more beautiful. Conversely, beauty in a Ford conies "for free. ’ Ford has found that it costs no more to develop a beautiful car than one that is less pleasing in appearance, ^ou can drive up to the most exi(ji«ive doorways in the world and feel perfectly at home in your Ford. Fords "belong” ... in exactly the same social category as the finest, one-of-kind creations. After all, a Ford is a custom creation multiplied. Uhat about running costs? Here's one place that Ford's advantages arc obvious, lot oil and gas economy Ford lias the big cars whipped. Ford parts cost less. Ford service charges arc less. Foul lire mileage is thousands of miles greater. And. Ford depreciation is the lowest of any car on the market—Ivar none. M hat are Fords made of? S>me people have the idea that the vostliest cars are made of "better stuff." Il's true that some high-priced car» have costlier upholsters ami titlings. What ford has is so good, both in durability and appearance, that you probablv could not tell the difference. You might even prefer it. because of its better design and more pleasing appearance. Then there's the question of sheet metal. If you were to measure and analyze the sheet metal structure in the most expensive car, you most likely would find it identical in thickness to the corres|x>ndiug panels in Eord. After all. then, what is the difference between a Ford and the costliest cars? In our opinion, the difference is largely a matter of dimensions, weight (and the power required to move it) plus the distinction of ow ning a car that not so many other people own. The desire for these things is understandable . . . and probablv justified for people who arc Milling to pay the price to satisfy it. As to comparing Ford with other cars in its price range, by all means do so if you wish. But. as we said before, you'll get a better picture of Ford value by comparing with cars that are most like Fords — those that arc priced up to twice as much. In fact, we think sou'll quickly liegin com paring the other cars with Ford—because the 195.» foril has trails established the New Standard ■ the American Road. 53 FORD Worth more «hen you buv it Worth more «hen vou sell it Herrold-Philippi Motor Co., Stayton ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
