E, M» The new V-8 Ford was on exhi­ bition in Sandy Elliot’s showroom Monday and Tuesday and some 670 interested people saw and examined the standard Tudor and the special Ford sedan, with arm rests, high sliding front seat and all the latest trimmings. On Tuesday afternoon Sandy took a load to Hensali and we understand stole the spring show for half an hour. The new car is. a 65 li,p. V type 8 cylinder engine, very resilent much improved spring suspension on a spring base that it is said gives excellent riding to the car. The wheel base, is- sufficiently long to carry this improved sus­ pension but yet is short enough to permit a turning radius of 19£ feet. The rooms'- body carried six men to Hensali quite 'comfortably. The gas tank is carried in the rear on the new Ford and to guard against tear­ ing in rear-end collision is sus­ pended at three points on rubber. In fact in over 100 parts we learn this car is insulated from all metal parts in heavy rubber. An inter­ esting demonstration was made of a Canadian 5c. piece balanced on its thin edge on the front fender while the engine was raced without throw­ ing the coin. The great number that visited the showroom shows the interest that is being _taken in this new production. Mr. Elliot informs us that he was able to book several orders. THE DATE MRS.
