Models
In the improved bodies of the new Ford cars there is a distinct beauty that makes Ford ownership a matter of genuine pride. The best ideas of modern automobile body design have been incorporated. The chassis is dropped and the bodies are lower and there is a graceful sweep the entire length of the car, carried out in the new fenders and emphasized by heightening the radiator and raising the head lamps.
See these Ford cars for yourself and judge of their unusually attractive appearance and added utility.
