and different Ford to meet new and different
conditions.
1--WE believe the new Ford Car, which will
be officially announced on Friday of this week,
is as great an improvement in motor car
building as the Model Ford was in 1908.
Smart new lou lines and
beautiful colors
"The new Ford is more than a car for the
requirements Of today. 1t goes farther than
that 1t anticipates the needs of 1923, of 1929,
of 1880.
"The new Ford car is radically different from
Model T. Yet the basic Ford principles of
economy of production and quality of prod
uct have been retained. There is nothing quite
like the new Ford anywhere in quality and price.
.|The new Ford has exceptional beauty of
line and color because beauty of line and
color has come to be considered, and think
rightly, a necessity in motor Car today.
Equally important is the mechanical beauty Of
the engine. Let us not forget this mechanical
beauty when we consider the beauty of the
new Ford:
Imperial Valley press., 1927-11-28
to every automobile o1Vmer

1\INETEEN years ago we made and sold
the first Model T Ford car. In announcing it
to the public we said:
"'We n5N build q motor car for be great maL
htnae HwUbe large enough jor THE family but
small enough for the indipiaual to run and care
for: 1t slH be constructed of THE best materials,
by the bes, men to be bi,eA, after the simplest

eff were starting in business today, or
asked to restate my policy, would not change
one sentence or one word of that original
announcement. In plain, simple language it
gives the reason for the very existence of the
Ford Motor Company and explains its growth.
In THE last nineteen years we have made
100000 Ford cars and added to the world
nearly SOC, 100000 mobile horsepower. Yet
do not consider the machines which bear my
name simply as machines. l take them as con-
crete evidence of the working out of a theory
of business which hope is something more
than theory Of business-a theory that looks
toward making this world better place in
which to live.
esThe Model Ford car was pioneer. There
was no conscious public need of motor cars
when we first conceived it. There were few
good roads and only the adventurous few could
be induced to buy an automobile.
.The Ford Car blazed the way for the motor
industry and started the movement for good
roads. 1t broke down the barriers of time and
distance and helped to place education within
the reach of all. 1t gave people more leisure.
1t helped people everywhere to do more and
better work in less time and enjoy doing it. 1t
did great deal, I am sure, to promote the
growth and progress of this country.
1--WE are still proud of the record of the
Model r Ford car. If we were not, we would
not have continued to manufacture it SO long.
But 1927 is not 1908. 1t is not 1915. 1t is not
even 1926.
We haze built a. peav car to meet
modern conditions
eve realize that conditions in this country
have so greatly changed in the last few years
that further refinement in motor car con.
struction is desirable. So we have built new
car. To put it simply-we have built new
