Description
Ford Cortina – Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad that is advertising the 1967 Ford Cortina (Model C). The ad starts off with the words “Common-sense transportation at a sensible price. Only $39.67 per month” and then, beneath the words “Ford’s Model C“ it shows a two-door Model C parked there with a pretty lady holding on to the passenger side door. The ad claims that “The Model C is Ford’s new Cortina. From the day it was introduced, this unique advance in sensible transportation has been selling at a phenomenal pace. Here’s why: Up to 30 miles per gallon at normal speeds from one of the most efficient 4-cylinder engines. Rally-bred for performance, too. Every time you toe the throttle, you’ll be reminded of its international racing heritage. Spacious room for five-adults. All-vinyl interior. Individually adjustable bucket seats. Front disc brakes. A 4-speed, fully synchronized transmission for smoother shifting. A turning circle 6′ shorter than VW’s. Makes it easier to maneuver, turn and park. More luggage room, too. Has twice the luggage space of a VW. Want an optional automatic transmission? You can get it in the Model C“. The list goes on and on.
