The New Ford takes you miles without strain or ONE of the things about driving the New Ford is the way it takes you over the miles without strain or fatigue. Mentally you are at ease because you are sure of the mechanical performance of the car. No matter how long the trip, or rough or devious the roadway, you know it will bring you safely, quickly to thojourney’s end. Through thickest traffic, up steepest hills, along the open road, you will drive with security and confidence because the new Ford is so alert and capable and so easy to operate and control. The steering wheel responds readily to a light touch. Gears shift smoothly and silently. Brakes take hold quickly and firmly even on rain-swept streets. Unusual acceleration speed and power are especially appreciated in emergencies. A space but little longer than the car itself is all you need for parking. These features simplify the mechanics of driving and, together with reliability, add a . great deal tp the mental comfort of motoring. Physically, too, you will feel fresh and relaxed in the New Ford because it is such a roomy, easy riding car. The restful, we!!-up-holstered seats invite you to sit hack and relax and enjoy the panorama of the passing miles. Steadily, evenly you travel along because of the specially designed springs and thq four Iloudaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers. They cushion the car against hard jolts and humps, reduce bouncing, ami smooth your path along every highway. All these qualities were dramatically portrayed hi the record Auckland to Wellington top-gear run of 10 hours 49 minutes. This remarkable time was established without undue stress of driver or car and in normal travelling comfort. Most convincing of all is to try the car yourself. This any Ford dealer is glad to have you do. Ford Prices range from £IBB.
