Ford V-8 cars for 1885 were
shown for The first time today
to Ford dealers at group meet
ings in Ford branches in "a cities

be shown first to the public next
Saturday.
Body lines which strike a new
note in conservative streamlin-
ing, a new treatment Of the in
terror and three important re-
finementS in chasis engineering
summarize the principal improve
mentS in the 1885 car. There are
no radical changes. The 85-horse-
power va engine is unaltered.
OF the three principal chasis
Improvements, one - improved
steering-iS aimed at greater ease
and safety of operation. Two
others tend to greater comfort.
One is the use of new steel
wheels which lessen the inspiring
weight Of the car and thus pro
vide greater riding comfort. The
other is an improved transmits
sion, using quiet helical gears in
all speeds, including reverse.
A new front end treatment
gives added distinction to the body
lines. The hood is longer, extend
ing gracefully over the attractive
new radiator grille.
Tenders are Streamlined, with
a wide flare. Horns are recessed
