This is what you'll see when you meet one of the new Fords coming toward you. Nole the Lincoln radiator lines, the bumper and the horn just below the light at the right,

This picture of the wheel, dash board and. Instruments of the new Ford shows how radically the new model differs from the old. Note the horn and light control on the contre of the wheel, with spark and gas control below; the hand gear shift lever, with foot throttle and starter on the floors the gasoline gauge, dash light, ammeter and speedometer grouped together on the dash; choke and gasoline petcock at the right, and the clutch and brake pedals replacing the old three-pedal system.

Here is the interior of the front, part of the new Tudor Sedan, showing the gear shift lever that replaces the old foot pedal. Note how the emergency brake is still kept at the left side; note also the automatic windshield wiper, and

rear vision mirror, new features for Fords.

Here is the Sport Coupe, or Cabriolet. Note the rumble seat-something never before seen on

a Ford. The lines in general are much "jazzier"-than former Ford models.

World-wide interest was aroused when Henry Ford announced his intention of discontinuing the pro- duction of the famous "Flivyer" and giving the world in its stead, an entirely new type of car.

The particulars of the latest. "Ford" were kept closely guarded, and not until production could be proceeded with were the pictures and specifications published. The „ pictures shown here were released on December 1st and are the first to reach this part of the world.

This is the Sport Roadster-cnother of the new models that incorporates in its lines the "snap" that Fords formerly lacked. The arrow calls attention to the place where the gase,

line tank is to be filled. The tank-is just back of the dash.

HERE THEY ARE!-
