I 0 9 The Smoothness, Silent Running and Economy of the ¥8 Engine Why the V 8 Rides Well so w m&m ■mi iWiili PT The -'-T Ease of Handling and Parking Whether out on long drives on the open road or climbing over winding hills, whether threading your way through city traffic or parking in the busy streets, you’ll find the Y 8 a joy to handle. Finger-light steering with needle type roller bearings, easy gear changing, and Super Safety mechanical brakes make the Ford V 8 the easiest of cars to drive. The V-type 8-cylinder engine is the one engine that completely satisfies the demand for smooth silent performance. That is the reason for the almost exclusive use of V-type engines for the greatest automotive achievements on land, sea and in the air. For everyday motoring, for business, for holidays, the V 8 engine can be relied upon to suit your driving needs easily. It has been proved, too, that the V 8 engine is the most economical engine Ford has ever built. All passengers ride near the centre of the car, cradled between the springs not over the axles. Long flexible transverse springs set on a springbase of 123 inches, together with correct weight distribution give a smooth “Centre-poise” ride over all kinds of roads. Riding comfort is further improved by deep soft seats, four double-acting shock absorbers, and hie resilient six-inch air balloon tyres. d* icv0* d'J V^ ad C.O* -Z.C* Vd d^ e Tie •to no d*°* lie V9d V)6 You htlp N 1 when uou but| QV FORD SSSs \ The Strong Safe Welded All-Steel Body The body of the Ford V 8 is a tremendously strong steel unit welded into one piece. At all corners and other points of possible stress the body is braced, like a steel girder bridge, with steel braces which also are welded into place. There are no seams to open, no joints to squeak, nothing to work loose and rattle. The strongest, safest, quietest, most durable body made.
