The New Ford V-8 for 1935 is
the biggest and roomiest Ford
car ever built. It is a strik
ingly handsome car, with mod
ern lines and new, luxurious
appointments.
But most important of all it
is especially designed to give
you smooth, easy riding over
all kinds of roads—“a front-seat ride for
back-seat riders."
This ease of riding is achieved by the
use of three basic principles never be
fore combined in a low-price car.
1. Correct distribution of car weight by
moving engine and body forward eight
and a half inches.
2. New location of Seats by which the
rear seat is moved forward, toward the
centre of the car away from the rear axle
and away from the bumps.
3. New spring suspension which per
mits the use of longer, more flexible
springs and increases the springbase to
123 inches.
A New FordV*8 That Brings New Beauty,
New Safety, and a New Kind of Riding
Comfort Within Reach of Millions of People
The result is Centre-Poise — which not
only gives you a new riding comfort but
adds to the stability of the car and its
ease of handling. You can take curves
from seven to eight miles faster with
perfect safety.
There are many new features in the
Ford V-8 for 1935 which make the car
still easier to drive* New brakes give
more power for stopping quickly with far
less foot pressure on the pedal. A new
type of easy-pressure clutch employs
centrifugal force to increase efficiency at
higher speeds. New steering mechanism
makes the car still easier to handle.
The New Ford V- 8 for 1935 retains the
V-8 engine which has demonstrated its
dependability and economy in
the service of over a million
owners. There are refinements,
but no change in basic design.
You buy premium perform
ance when you buy this Ford
V-8,—full 90 horsepower and
85 miles an hour.
We invite you to see this
New Ford V-8 at the showrooms of Ford
dealers. You will want to ride in it—to
drive it yourself. You will find it a new
experience in motoring.
