The Ford Tudor Sedan brings to the
public an entirely new style Of Ford
enclosed body.
1t is distinctive type designed to
carry five passengers in complete com
fort. The roof line is low and straight
which with the larger radiator, now
standard on all Ford cars, gave Ford
designers an opportunity OF effecting
most graceful lines and at the same
time most sturdy construction.
Besides its general appeal and high
quality aspect, the Tudor Sedan has
several new features which promise I'd
win immediate favor.
The Two doors are unusually wide
2S4 inches to be exact, and are set al
the front of the car, hung in exception
ally heavy frames and swing open for
ward on either side in line with the dri-
ver's seat.
Side windows running back from the
doors are oblong In shape and thirty.
two inches in length, atfording unusal
vision to the occupants, while a large
rear window adds to the visibility.
All window glasses are lowered flush
with the framing, affording clear Wis
ion and the maximum In ventilation.
Exterior appearance is enhanced by
windshield visor, cowl venttlatpi
and secure rear tenders of new de
sign.
Interior arrangement OF the Tudor
Sedan meets all comfort requirements
both for driver and passengers.
The Tudor Sedan is priced at $500,
at Detroit.
