ONE NAME comes quickly to mind
when you think of “The Universal
Car.” The description is distinctively
Ford. No other car is used by so
many millions of men and women in
every part of the world. Everywhere
it is the symbol of faithful service.
That has always been a Ford funda-
mental. Something new is constantly
being added in the way of extra value.
Each year the Ford has widened its
appeal by increasing its usefulness
to motorists.

Today’s Ford V-8 is more than ever
“The Universal Car” because it en-
circles the needs of more people than
any other Ford ever built. It reaches
out and up into new fields because it
has everything you need in a modern
automobile.
The Ford V-8 combines fine-car
performance, comfort, safety and
beauty with low first cost and low cost
of operation and up-keep. It depre-
ciates slowly because it is made to last.
There is no other car like it.
