~NNN-N~-
The new Ford stands unveiled.
Two thousand persons sent turn
stiles spinning in the Auto Show
Bldg. at the State Fair Ground to-
day within three hours after doors
were opened at a. M. for first pub
lie display of the new Model A cars.
They scurried to the platforms
where five of the new modelS--a1
but the four-door sedan-were on
display, voiced excited exclams Giops
of pleased surprise and then took 9
hand in the clinic.
They crawled in and out and In
again, pulled levers, pushed pedals,
honked horns, switched on the
lights, dropped into rear seats,
stretched their legs, sighed satiSfac-
ton and signed order blanks.
Statesmen Are Busy
Eighty beribboned statesmen from
the eleven authorized Ford agencies
in Indianapolis wove in and out
through the crowd, order blanks in
one hand, pencil in the other, ears
attuned for that significant remark
that meant another sale.
The two-door sedan was the first
to greet the eye. Such a large
crowd surrounded the raised plat
form that it was difficult to get q
comprehensive view.
The same was true at the other
platforms, where were shown the
roadster, phaeton Gas the touring
car is termeD, coupe and sport
coupe.
First view of the new motor in
operation was provided when q. E.
Earnest, superintendent of the e.
Washington st. assembly plant,
drove in on q chassis, which was
elevated to a platform, that all
might see and hear.
'T1nards" Are Scrutillized
Men with a bent for knowing
more about the "innards" crowded
about tables on which we're dis
played all the parts. The all-steel
two-door model body was on display
'in the rough" receiving much fa-
vorable comment. The only wood
was the stays across the top.
Business men and farmers scru-
tinized closely the new model truck.
Movies showing production Of the
new models in the Detroit plants
are to be shown continuously. at
the west end of the building.
Displayed conspicuously above the
screen were signs saying: Orders
will be filled strictly in the order
received"
Dealers and statesmen were inn
patient for word from Detroit on
delivered prices. Some ventured to
estimate them for buyers, agreeing
to stand the difference when off,
cial announcement is received.
Charges to Be Higher
Dealers expect delivery charges
to be somewhat higher than on the
old models, because, they say, the
news cars are from $50 to 800
pounds heavier. Delivery charges on
the old Model T cars ranged from
$37.06 to $47.68. F. o. B. prices for
the new cars are approximately $50
higher than on corresponding
Model T models.
The fair ground exposition win
be open to the public, without adj
mittance charge, 9 a. m. to 10 p.
m. today, Saturday and Sunday.
Dealers expect to have at least
one model each in their own dis
play rooms Monday.
