' Time ind again I am told by my own organization and by-others-
- that I penalize myself by quality..
Friendly critics protest our putting into the Ford V-8 what they
call "twonty-yaar steel." They say such quality is not necessary:
the public doGs'not expect it; and’ that the public does not know the
difference anyway. *
But I know the difference.
ITknow that the car atman sees is not the car he drives he
-drives-the 'car which the engineer sees. The car which is seen,
comtiJiises beauty of design, color and attractive accessories.---all
desirable,, o’f course. The best evidence that we think so is that they
are all found on the Ford V-8. . . -
' But these are not the car. 'The car proper, which is the basis of
all the rest, is the type of engine and its reliability, the structure
of chassis and body, ruggedly durable: the long thought/ and experiment
given tosafety factors; the steady development of comfort
ience and economy. These mak^ the car.
