Well, the Ford car has a V-8, too. In
fact, it has had a VS. since 1882, and
since that time Ford has built more
V-8's - by millions - than all other
manufacturers combined. And there's
no other builder in FordS price range

that the appearance Of a Ford Car
leaves very little to be desired. It is
"at home" wherever it goes and It
goes everywhere.
But ,Chat about Ford quality?
Does it too match the fine car? Is the
sheet metal Of the body panels as
thick? Is the finish as good? How
about the trim and things like that?
Well, as far as we can determine, the
sheet metal is identical in thickness
in practically all instances. As to
finish - we believe Ford's baked-on
enamel has no equal in any car. Ford
upholstery fabrics and trim are less
costly, but they're less delicate, too,
and if anything, more durable.
HOtO then is it possible to giOe vou
this fine car at half the fine car price?
Part of the answer lies in Ford
manufacturing SkillS and knowledge
as evidenced by the V-S engine. Part
of it comes from the ever increasing
numbers of cars Ford produces and
the economies they make possible.
And, part of it comes from Ford's
willingness to give greater values

Without being technical we can
tell you that what's been done with

What about room? Here's an inter-
