metai pnrte of the Ford
When you buy a Ford yon buy enduring boanty*
The body finish is made to last for the life of the
car and practically all exposed bright metal parts ex
cept the hampers are made of enduring Rustless
Steel.
This Rustless Steel has great tensile strength.
It is the same bright metal all the way through. A
salt test equivalent to forty years’ service under the
severest weather conditions failed to have any effect
on its brilliance. It never requires polishing. All
yoii do is.wipe.it with a damp doth, as you do your
windshield.
This is Just one of many features that show
the substantial worth of the Ford. In speed, com-
fort, safety, economy and long life — in the rich
ness of its finish and upholstery — it brings yon
everything yon want or need in a motor car at an
unusually low price.
