Description
Black and white 5 1/4″ x 13″ ad that claims you can “Get Savings You’d Hardly Believe Possible!” by purchasing this “Ford Motor Company Product made in England”. The ad has a picture of a 2-Door Sedan parked at the beach and mentions that the 4-Door Prefect and the Thames Panel truck in 1/4 and 1/2 ton versions were also available. The ad lists eleven features worth talking about; the flag-type directional signals, the car-width parcel shelf under the dash, the Briggs coach body, an oversize trunk, a length of 153 1/2″ with a wheelbase of 90″, a unique jack-up system that is operated from the interior, luxury upholstery, a 4 cylinder engine of 30 H.P., you can get up to 40 miles per gallon, it has standard left-hand drive and it has 4-wheel mechanical brakes. There is a coupon to cut out and mail in for information. This ad is taller than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
