THE PROOF COULD THERE BE BETTER? Read what the user of the First New “ MODEL A ” Ford Oar sold in Hawera has to say. Writing to Mr Kemp under date 2nd July this gentleman states:— “You will no doubt be interested to know how the New Ford Coach behaved on our trip of nearly 1400 miles around the North Island. “Throughout pur first day’s journey, over Mt. Messenger, via Te Kuitito Waitomo Caves, it was not necessary to change gears, and the petrol con-b sumption worked out at 25 miles per gallon. Next day, via Hamilton to. Te Aroha, afterwards to Rotorua. Here the consumption averaged 27 miles per gallon. “The journey via Wairakei and Taupo to Napier is very hilly. One ascent, Turangakuwa, 2700 ft, then descend and cross Mohaka river, again ascend, Titiokura, along steep climb of 4 miles to summit, 2550 ft. Here I took 5 the cap ofi: the radiator and found that I could easily bear my finger'in the water. This surprised me greatly after such a long steep-climb. ” ,A . “We afterwards journeyed to Wellington via Manawatu and Paekakariki. This hill we climbed in good style,- only changing gear for about ten yards when negotiating a corner, the car soon gaining speed again.’’ We returned via Rimutaka and Wairarapa and this did not necessitate any change of gears. “On the whole journey there was no water required in the radiator, and on returning to Hawera I had the oil emptied out and measured, and-found that I had nsed only If pints for the whole run. 1" “The car is very easily held on the road; even with loose shingle it holds on with a minimum of effort. “Travelling from a big car passed at a good speed, so I thought I would try conclusions. * She more than held her own over the rough beach shingle . . . they tried to get away, but we kept right up with them . . . . our pace from 50 to 54 miles. “I find the car exceeds my expectations and our journey under wintry conditions was one of pleasure and comfort, and I think, as Jack, the old Maori guide at Wairakei, said of it: ‘ That the New Moral ? ’ ” Old Jack was right—the new “Model A” IS a MORAL —a sure winnei —under rigorous touring test she has measured up to top standard—Appearance plus Comfort, plus Performance, plus Economy. She is a good car to own. H. R FORD DEALER, HAWERA.
