The New Ford V-8 for 1935 is a motor car designed for comfort as well as efficiency. Three years ago, the Ford Motor Com- pany brought a new standard of motor performance within reach of the .average purchaser by introducing the Ford V-8. The outstanding reliability and economy of its V-8 engine have been proved in the service of more than a million motorists. For 1935, the Ford Motor Company takes another pioneering step and gives you ease of riding to match that modern engine performance. This achievement is Center-Poise Riding —accomplished by a fundamental changein car design—with new, correct weight distri- bution, newseat position and newspringing. The improvement is especially noticeable in the back seat. You ride forward, toward the center of the car—away from the rear axle and away from the Lumg. Rear-seat passengers now have the comfort of a “front-seat ride."’ CORRECT WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION AND A SPRINGBASE OF 123 INCHES Scientific distribution of weight has been effected by completely redesigning the THE SUNDAY BTAR, 'WASHINGTON, D. €, DECEMBER 30, 1934—PART ONE. DISTINCTIVE NEW LINES AND A NEW KIND OF RIDING COMFORT chassis. Engine, frame and body are all so balanced that their weight is about equally distributed on all four wheels. This permits the use of longer, more flexible springs, both front and rear. The springbase of the New Ford V-8 is 123 inches, eleven inches longer than the wheelbase. The front spring is mounted forward of the front axle, instead of directly over it. The rear spring is mounted eight inches behind the rear axle. This long springbase gives increased comfort without sacrificing ease of handling. Spring leaves are tapered to insure quiet operation as well as greater The Ford policy of constant improvement is reflected alro in the beautiful body lines of the New Ford V-8 for 1935. They are distinctively modern, yet not extreme. The whole appearance of the car is one of grace and substantial strength. NEW BODY ROOM—NEW BRAKES— ‘'NEW CLUTCH—EASIER STEERING The New Ford V-8 is longer and wider, with more leg room, more seat room and more luggage room. The front seats are 4 to 8% inches wider and seat three comfort- ably. The car is lower—easier to step in and out. Rear doors in sedans are wider. The new pillowed seats are unusually comfortable, with softer back springs and seat springs. The new interior finish, upholstery and appointments are richer and more luxurious than anything you have ever seen in a low-price car. Other important 1935 features are the newly designed brakes and clutch, with softer action, requiring less foot pressure on the pedals, easier steering and new lower X-type frame.
