Description
Ford Eight Cylinder – Full color 7 1/2″ x 11 1/4″ ad that deals with the value of having a Ford with an Eight cylinder engine. The ad has a picture of a Black Four-Door Convertible with the top down that is parked on a bridge that goes over a river where a race between several eight-man rowboats is taking place. Also on the bridge are two young boys, one of whom is looking back and forth between the Ford parked next to them and the race. The other boy is saying “Gee, Bill, that eight’s the smoothest thing I ever saw!” to which the friend wonders “Which eight?”. The ad talks about the 85-horsepower engine giving 17-21 miles per gallon and the 60-horsepower engine giving 22-27 miles per gallon.
