Description
Ford Cortina – Full color 9 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ ad has a photo of a Light-colored Model C parked under a tree in a large field. The ad headline says “Introducing another better idea from Ford…”. The text continues by saying “The Model C is Ford‘s new Cortina – a unique advance in basic transportation – every bit as sensible as the “Model T” and the “Model A” were. Yet this new Cortina, at $1815 (as little as $39.67 per month), is the most enjoyable thing that ever came between you and the road. Spacious enough for five adults, it’s a performance machine with a distinguished international racing heritage. Model C gives you a lot for $1815″. Then, if that was not enough, they tease you by announcing the Model C Plus. This had a GT engine with 25% more power, a tachometer, ammeter and old pressure gauge and a center console between the bucket seats.
