FORD RETAIL
SALES GO
OVER MILLION
Show Increase of 105, 900
Cars and Trucks
Over 1920

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks
and Fordson tractors have again
exceeded the million mark for the
year 1921, according to state
ment given out today bv the
Ford Motor Company.
The Ford factory and assembly
plant production figures reached
a total of 1,050,740 cars, trucks
and tractors for the year, with re-
tail sales by dealers approximate
ing 1893, 900, which in the United
States alone surpassed the 1920
retail sales record by 104,213
Ford cars and trucks!
The Ford Company says the
outlook for 1922 is decidedly opti-
mistic. In fact, concrete eviden-
ces already exist in that car and
truck retail sales for December
1921, exceeded December 1929
sales by almost % per cent, and
Fordson tractor retail sales foi
the same periods show an increase
of over 100 per cent for Deem
Der 1921, as we'll as an increase
over the total tractor sales for
the month of November.
These facts seem to indicate
that not only are the farmers
buying more freely, but that the
general public is becoming mora
responsive and recentive.
Another point brought out by a
comparison of production figures
for the past two years shows THAI
Ford enclosed cars are gaining IN
popularity, as 90 per cent of the
1921 production were Scdans and
Coupcs as against a total of 1e
per cent for the year previous.
Recent reductions in Ford cars
and truck prices bought them to
IL new level. The touring car now
sells for $34S, the Runabout for
1919, the Coupe for $3.50, the Sc
dan 70" $645, the Chassis for
1885,, md the Truck for $40, all
