Millions of Americans can tell you how re-
liably and economically their Ford cars have
carried them through thick and thin. When
new cars can be built and bought freely again,
your choice of a new Ford car will be backed
by evidence you can verify for yourself on
any street or highway in the nation. 1t will
be your positive assurance that the smart
style, lively performance, and comfort of your
new Ford will be matched by enduring thrift
and rugged stamina.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-08

ION THE ROAD NEARLY ALL the TIME, my work for
the armed services takes me over most Of two
states. And have TO be on schedule without fail
My 1910 Ford Sedan has carried me- reliably and
comfortably, more than third ofa million miles"
