Detroit, Aug. 26. Introduction of a higher radiator, bring new. and improved body lines to all types of Ford cars, is announced to-day by the Ford Motor Com-) pany.

The changes have just gone! into affect and the various types. are now in production.

While the larger radiator has been made standard on all types and while it has made possible ather betterments in body design. there is no radical departure in construction, but rather a general improvement which has resulted in more graceful lines.

The new radiator sets, an inch; and a half higher than the former and has an apron at the bottom which joins a similar apron effect of the fenderon either side, giving s highly finished appearance to the front of the car. The larger radiator also increases cooling efficiency.

Most conspicuous among the news types is the Ford Coupe which is of entirely new body' | design and construction, resulting in a more trim exterior appear- ance. more comfortable seating arrangement and

greater luggage carrying capacity.

From the dash there is a graceful; sweep in the cowl to the radiator bringing a pleasing effect to the frant. The doors are wide and open forward making access and exit easy. They are heavily! framed for rigidity and strength.

NERACAR

"SAFETY

FIRST."

For safety, Reliability, Strength. Cleanliness and Economy the "NERACAR" stands unrivalled.

The "NERACAR" was not built for excessive speed. On plain level roads, it will give a speed of 35 miles, whilst on hills-such as the Chin Wan Hill-it will give a speed of 25 miles per hour, as proved in the recent trials. Considering that most people rarely go motoring at more than 30 miles on level roads or 20 miles up hills, the

NERACAR" has a reserve speed which is quite ample.

The" NERACAR" was specially designed and built to meet the needs of people who, in their 'daily avocations and pleasures, find that what is really required is a reliable, fair priced, light two-wheeled motor car that will carry them about safely, economically, at a fair speed and without the risk of having their clothing soiled by dirt, grease and oil. The NERACAR" answers all these requirements and its gasoline consumption is one gallon to 100 miles
