Why do wi awtf The New Ford V-t
for 1936?
What is new about St?
Of course, the newest engine m the
low-price car field is still the V-8 engine.
Since Ford made it available to all car
users (keeping it as economical as cars
with fewer cylinders) the Ford V-8 has
been the newest engine on the market
and remains the newest for 1996.
You may hay a car on minor "talking
points"—some specially advertised fea
ture "with the car thrown in"—but after
alt it is the engine you buy when you
buy a car. Hence we put the engine first
Other new point* about the ear
make a long list.
Its lines are much more beautiful. The
hood is longer and sweeps forward over
the distinctive new radiator grille, giving
the car a length and grace that are
instantly impressive. The fenders are
larger, with a wide flare. Homs are con
cealed behind circular grilles beneath
the headlamps. New steel wheels.
Ford upholstery — always of sterling
quality and excellent taste—is rich and
enduring. The appointments of the car
'vrve a new touch of refinement. There
is no question about tho increased
beauty of the Ford V-8 for 1996.
In more practical matters, many
improvements have been made—
Steering is made easier by a new steer
ing gear ratio. The cooling system cir
culates 5 l /a gallons of water through a
new. larger radiator. Natural thermo-
syphon action is assisted by two cen
trifugal water pumps. New style hood
louvres permit a rapid air-flow around
die engine.

shorter distance.

driven away by the irate brother-in-

slay him.
Hodges and his wife had no chil

Hence no one can be found who is
