| THE EASIEST RIDE IN THE ROOMIEST, MOST COMFORTABLE FORD CAR EVER BUILT Wider, roomier bodies combine with Centre-poise Riding to produce the marvellous comfort of the new Ford V-8. Front seats have been widened from 4 to 5½ inches to provide plenty of space for three passengers. Rear seats are also wider and every detail of design and equipment has been planned to intensify the pleasure derived from the smooth, powerful performance of the Ford V-8 engine. There is more luggage space in all body types. The two new Touring Saloons have a capacious built-in trunk which is an inherent part of the beautiful rear end design. This leaves the interior of the car free for passengers when travelling. Behind the rear seats of the other saloons is a compartment for two or three suit cases. The shelf behind the seat in the coupe and cabriolet is unusually spacious ; in some body types it is large enough to accommodate two golf bags. Sit in the new Ford, stretch out your legs, relax into the deep, roomy cushions—here is real comfort and beauty in motor cars. Or, take the wheel and drive over a road that is unusually rough. As you glide over the bad spots you will realise that the new comfort of the Ford is one of the outstanding motor car developments of today. Spacious, beautiful interior of Saloon de Luxe (Double Entrance). Rear quarter window illustrates simplicity of Ford built-in, clear-vision ventilation. More than ever a car for the woman driver. Very little foot pressure is required to operate the improved brakes and clutch. Steering is easier. Three can ride comfortably on this front seat.
