Many Improvements Made But Price Unchanged

The Touring: All-steel stream-line body. Double-ventilating windshield. Ford leather- cloth, one-man top.

Fuel tank under cowl. Tool box under front seat. "Weatherproof storm curtains that open with all doors." Windshield wiper, polished nickel head lamp rims, and four cord tyres are standard equipment.

Balloon tyres H.K.$50 extra

Though the old, low price of H.K.$965 re- mains unaltered, there is greatly increased value in the Ford touring car. The chassis is lower and the body is lengthened and lowered, the seats widened, and deeply upholstered.

The all-steel body is lighter and stronger, lasts longer and is free from rattles. Let us show you these and many other improvements which have been added without increasing the cost.
