Introduction OF higher radiator,
bringing new and improved body lines
10 ali types Of Ford Cars. Is announced
today BY the Ford Motor Company.
The changes have just gone into ef-
feet 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 betterments
in body design, there is no radical de-
parture In construction, but rather a
general Improvement which has re-
suited 10 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 sim
liar apron effect of the fender on either
side, giving a highly finished appear
ance to the front of the car. The larger
radiator also increases cooling ell
cheney.
Most conspicuous among the new
types is the Ford Coupe which is Of en-
tirely new body design and construc-
ton, resulting in more trim exterior
appearance, more comfortable seating
arrangement and greater luggage
carrying capacity.
From the dash there is a graceful
sweep in the cowl to the radiator
bringing a pleasing effect TO the front.
The doors are wide and open forward
making access aud exit easy. They
are heavily framed for rigidity and
strength. The compartment at the
rear has been enlarged to afford in
creasing 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 making IL
unnecessary for the driver to leave his
seat. Ventilator in the cowl and vi
sor over the windshield add much to
the attractiyeness of the car. A new
rear fender OF more sturdy character
also is a feature.
Interior fittings are of choice mate
rial and the arrangement of the deeply
cushioned seat has been effected so that
at the rear there is a small recess shelf
for carrying parcels. The rear vision
window is much larger and oblong in
shape. Door windows have been
equipped with revolving type window
regulators and door locks are provid-
ed. Side windows are equipped with
the lever type window lifters.
Marked, too, Is the Improvement In
the Four Door Sedan. Highly popu-
lar since its Introduction year ago,
because 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 a graceful sweep from the dash
blending into the larger hood and rad
iator. The change also affords an in
crease 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 graceful curve
TO the higher hood.
The result brings a most pleasing eff
feet to the exterior appearance Of both
types. The Improvement in the Tour
ing Car which came when the one man
top and slanting windshield we're in
troduced, 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 1t more rug
ged and sturdy appearance.
The new radiator is also extended to
the Ford Truck chassis, affording i'm
proved appearance and better cooling
to delivery services.
These new Ford types and the gener.
ally recognized performance ability of
the Ford under all motoring condi-
tions, promise 70 bring a greater de-
mand than ever before as the public
becomes more fully acquainted with
the higher standards and greater val
ues which have been Incorporated.
No changes are contemplated in prices.
