THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Looking Ahead
Last spring a total of 350,(XX) people were disappointed in
J not being able to obtain deliveries of Ford Cars and Trucks,
as orders were placed faster than cars could be produced.
The demand for Ford Cars and Trucks this Spring will, accord
ing to all indications, be far greater than last Spring.
Winter buying has been increasing at a greater rate than ever
before.
Actual retail deliveries the past 60 days
totaled 308,170 Ford Cars and Trucks , an
increase of 1,961 a day over a year ago .
Over 200,000 people have already ordered Ford products on
our purchase plan, the majority of whom will take delivery in
Hie Spring.
The above facts are given with the suggestion that you list your
order promptly with a Ford dealer if you contemplate the pur
chase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or Summer and
wish to avoid delay in delivery.
Detroit, Michigan
You need not pay cash for your car. You can arrange to make a small deposit
down, taking care of the balance in easy payments. Or, you can buy on the
Ford Weekly Purchase Plan. This puts you on the preferred order
fat and insures delivery of your car at a time 1 to be determined by yourself.
