Description
English Fords – Full color 9 1/2″ x 14″ ad for their Escort 5-Passenger Station Wagon. The ad has a picture of a White Escort parked and being loaded up with flowers and plants while other car owners and occupants admire the beauty of this car. The ad headline sings “It’s Imported! It’s Ford! It’s yours for $1 a Day!” and the text talks about the “$1-a-day plan, now offered by most dealers”. This car is shown as listing for $1651 and the ad mentions that the 2-door Anglia lists for $1561 and the 4-door Prefect for $1661. The text discusses some of the quality built into these cars and some of the safety features that are standard. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
