C. In The 1935 Models “THE EXTENDED SPRINGBASE WITH COMFORT ZONE SEATING” Ford is introducing in the 1935 j models “the extended springbaso with comfort zone seating.” This basic Ford development greatly im- ! proves riding comfort while retain ing “free action on all four wheels.” The “better ride” qualities of the new car have been developed through what is virtually a revolu- tionary change in the seating ar rangement, plus an entirely new principle in “springbase” design. The seats have been moved forward so that all passengers fide now be tween the axles. The rear seat is eight and a half inches further for ward of its position in the former model, bringing passengers closer to the center of the car and min imizing the effect of bumps in driv ing over uneven roads. In conjunction with this change, softer, longer springs have been provided in an unusual type of mounting. The front springs, in creased seven and five-eighths inches in length, are now mounted three and five eighths inches in front of the axle; the new longer rear springs two and a half inches further to the rear than in the for mer models of the V-8. The springs have been softened and their de sign changed so as to give almost perfect synchronization with each other. The leaves have been con siderably widened—modified and tapered for greater flexibility and to eliminate squeaks. In the new V-8, the spring base is 123 1-8 inches, which means that passengers now ride in a car with the equivalent of that length wheelbase, yCt a car with riding qualities far in excess of the ordi nary automobile regardless of wheelbase length. At the same time, retaining the original 112-inch wheelbase gives the new car all the maneuverability of the former models. Other important changes in the seats, too, have added greater com fort to the 1935 Fdrd. Wider seats, varying from four and a half to five and a half inches according to body styles, more than in the 1934 ! : STATE THEATRE GREENWOOD, S, C ' Tlntr^ay .

Bodies for almost every use. ADVANCED TRUCK FEATURE T RUCKING entered a new era of economy when Ford engineers gave you the V-8 truck engine, the full-floating rear axle and the other truck-built features that are today saving money for thousands of Ford V-8 users. Fox 1935, Ford engineers have added improvements that enable yon to make new demands op your truck—that wilt further re duce your operating and main tenance cost. Perhaps your tire wear is okay. Perhaps your brakes are giving efficient, long service. Maybe you have no complaint about the way your truck is standing up or handling. Even so ... the new Ford Forward Load Distri bution will improve on all these* In addition you can now use full-width semi-trailers—and make acute angle turns. No other truck in America, re gardless of price, offers the combination of features brought to you by the 1935 Ford V-8. Don’t fail to test these trades on your own job, with your own drivers!

I 223 Ford, with a correspouding increase in the width of the car, ipake it possible now to ride Jhree in front as comfortably as in the rear com partment. More elbow room has been provided. A newly designed gear shift lever also adds . to the comfort of riding in front. The exceptionally low center of gravity in the new car also adds considerably to the better riding qualities of the V-8. Twelve body styles are introduced in the 1935 Ford series. The nine Ue Luxe models are the Tudor Sedan and Fordor sedan, Tudor and Fordor “touring” sedans with trunks; Tudor and Fordor sedans, without trunks; 3 and 5-window coupes, roadster, cabriolet and phaeton. In the low-priced mod els are the 5-window business coupe, Tudor Sedan and Fordor Sedan. The 1935 V-8 is a decidedly larger car in appearance, actually is long er, measured from bumper tc bumper. It not only looks the part, but is a big car—almost eight inches longer. The streamline effect carries through artistically from the slop ing new radiator shell to the smart ly modern rear end with wide wing fenders in front, and narrow newly styled fenders barely pro jecting beyond the body over the rear wheels. Its distinctive lines are accentu ated by smart, box-shaped rectan gular louvers with rustless steel moulding, which add their quota of beauty to the front end of the car. The radiator grille is new also, chrome plated in the De Luxe models and of enamel finish to harmonize with the color of the body in lower priced models. The radiator emblem, a modernistic winged V-8, is new, as are the — ■V l * — bullet-shaped head 'lamps in' body 1 colors, with rustless steel rims. All De Luxe models have two tail,.lights and two horns. The new Ford bodies are of steel, electrically welded into a one-piece construction, wood being entirely eliminated for any structural pur pose. To protect the finish of the car and at the same time stiffen the lower edge of the fenders, a gutter-like bead on the lower edge drains off water and mud below the running boards, eliminating the splashing of the body which tin conventional type fender does not While the stronger body is one of the outstanding features that as sure new high standards of safety in the V-8, other important changes also contribute materially. New weight distribution gives bet ter balance. The low center gravity, with a decidedly more rug ged frame construction, makes it hold the road better and it “takes the turns” five to seven miles an hour faster than last year’s Ford. Interiors of all cars are most at tractive, echoing the modernistic lines of the exteriors. The instru ment panel is of striking design, matching in color the interior trim of the car. The attractively de signed speedometer and gauges are conveniently placed in full view of the driver with a large glove and package compartment at the ex treme right. In between are the control knobs in harmonizing col ors. The new thin scalloped steering wheel, with anti-skid grips on the rim, also carries through the color scheme. The V-8 emblem and lights controls are found in the center of the wheel. Two new in struments are provided for the De Luxe cars, an oil pressure indica- Auditor’s Notice FOR THE YEAR 1935 I will be at the following places on the dates given to take tak re turns on all kinds of personal prop- ery to be made by owner, agent, ad ministrator, attorney, guardian, etc.: Office Jan; 1st through Jan. 14th.
