Steel bodies, safety-glass- and dependable brakes are to-day’s symbols of safety in automobiles, but they are somewhat incomplete symbols. True, they are very important. That is why Ford pioneered the all-steel body welded into one piece, the first safetyglass windshields to be included as standard equipment, and later, safety-glass throughout every car at no extra cost. It is also another reason why Ford continues to use basic chassis construction which makes it possible to use the simplest brake mechanism. The V 8 radius rods, for example, hold the axles in place, hold steering and braking mechanism in correct operating position, keep wheels in alignment. You will find rear radius rods on some high-priced cars but both front and rear radius rods on no car except the VB. Consider the V 8 front axle. It can be twisted cold until it looks like a corkscrew, without breaking. Four stout, welded steel wheels support the VB, yet any one of the wheels will easily bear the weight of a dozen cars. The V 8 frame is braced by cross members and by X-type steel girders which run right out to the ends of the frame for great strength and rigidity. Brakes are a vital safety factor. The V 8 Super-safety brakes are positive, effective and easy to operate because they provide an unusually large braking area. These brakes are operated by stout steel rods, the simplest, safest and most direct means yet devised. Long-tested and sureacting, the mechanical super-safety type brakes are unquestionably best and safest. The V 8 wheels, being wide apart, take a wide grip on the road. The tyres have a very broad tread so that they can grasp the road firmly. These and many other features of the same kind make the V 8 a supremely safe car, not only where it shows but all the way through. NORTHLAND MOTORS, Ltd. PHONE 12 KAITAIA P.O. BOX 66 V 8 News 225 1 1
