MANY IMPROVEMENTS
ON NEW FORD CARS

VN NLV IVNO VnND
Introduction Of a higher radiator.
bringing new and improved body lines
to all types Of Ford cars, has been
announced by the Ford Motor COM
pany.
The changes have just gone into
effect and the various types are now
in production.
While the larger radiator has been
made standard on all types and while
it has made possible other better
ments in body design, there les no rad
ical departure in construction, but
rather a general improvement which
has resulted in more graceful lines.
The new radiator sets an inch and
a half higher than the former and has
an apron at the bottom which joins
a similar apron effect Of the fender on
either side, giving highly finished
appearance to the front Of the car.
The larger radiator also increases
cooling efficiency.
Most conspicuous among the new
types is the Ford coupe hich is Of en-
tirely new body design and construc-
ton, resulting in a more trim exter-
ior appearance, more comfortable
seating arrangement and a greater
luggage carrying capacity.
From the dash there is a graceful
sweep in the cowl to the radiator.
bringing pleasing effect to the front.
The doors are wide and open forward
making access and exit easy. They
are heavily framed for rigidity and
strength. The compartment at the
rear has been enlarged to afford in
creased carrying capacity. The gas
oline tank is under the seat, with di-
vided cushions to afford easy filling
of the tank from the right side, max
ing it unnecessary for the driver to
leave his seat. Ventilator in the cowl
and visor over the windshield add
much to the attractiveness of the car.
A new rear fender Of more sturdy
character is also feature.
Interior fittings are of choice ma
terial and the arrangement of the
deeply cushioned seat has been eff
fected so that at the rear there is a
small recess shelf for carrying par
cells. The rear vision window is much
larger and oblong in shape. Door
windows have been equipped with re-
volving type window regulators and
door locks are provided. Side win
dows are equipped with the lever type
window lifters.
Marked, too, is the improvement in
the four door sedan. Highly popular
since its introduction year ago, be-
cause of its low, graceful lines, the
car now presents even much better
lines and sturdier appearance.
This has been brought about by the
installation of an entirely new cowl
with graceful sweep from the dash
blending into the larger hood and ra-
diator. The change also affords an
increase in leg room for occupants of
the front seat.
In the open types, the touring car
and runabout, the cowl has been en-
larged and flows in a graceful curve
to the higher hood.
The result brings most pleasing
effect to the exterior appearance Of
both types. The improvement in the
touring car which came when the one
man top and slanting windshield were
introduced, is greatly enhanced by the
larger radiator, the car appearing
lower and more attractive than ever
The effect on the roadster is likewise
most appealing, giving it more
rugged and sturdy appearance.
The new radiator is also extended
to the Ford truck chassis, affordine
improved appearance and better cool
ing to delivery services.
These new Ford types and the gen
orally recognized performance ability
of the Ford under all motoring condi
tions, promise to bring greater de
mand than ever before as the public
becomes more fully acquainted will
the higher standards and greater val
ues which have been Incorporated. NJ
