Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 14″ ad that is to celebrate The Twenty-Eight Millionth Ford Car. The picture shows Four other Ford cars: “Behind the 28 millionth Ford car, which comes off the line April 8, 1940, are other famous Ford “millionth cars”: the Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is for the 1941 Ford and the Ford Rouge Plant. This ad has a drawing of a 1941 Ford Two-Door driving sedately along the street while a young boy is standing there, hands on his knees, staring as the ad headline says that “You expect BIG things from Ford“. The ad text says that The Ford Rouge Plant is world-famous for doing big things in a big way. Now it’s producing the biggest Ford car ever built!. The 1941 Ford has an extremely new body – longer and wider. It has a longer wheelbase. Seating width has been increased as much as seven inches!. Larger windshield and windows provide as much as 33% more glass area. After you see the beauty and size of this big car, feel its faster acceleration and soft new ride – a ride produced by new, slower-action springs, improved shock absorbers, and a newly designed stabilizer that eases steering and helps maintain balance on curves or in cross winds. How is it done? How can such a big, comfortable car have eight-cylinders and this costly construction at low price? The answer goes back to the Ford way of doing business – to the fact that Ford has built millions more cars than any one else and is satisfied with a smaller profit per car. Get the full story from any Ford dealer. See how little it costs to trade in your present car. A 1941 Ford means a good deal“.
