Show Ford Y-8 How On Display In Ford j Showrooms Throughout The United States Ford V-type 8-cylinder cars for 1938 go on display today in Ford dealer showrooms throughout the United States. They are offered this year as two distinct lines, differing dif-fering in appearance and price. Both are in the lowest price field. One is a newly-styled standard Ford line, in coupe, Tudor and Fordor body types, powered either with the 85 or 60 horsepower V-8 engine. The standard cars are designed de-signed to meet the requirements of the many car owners, whose means dictate maximum economy in first cost, as well as in maintenance main-tenance and operating costs. The other is a newly-designed de luxe line for owners who desire additional style and appointments. Powered only with the 85 horsepower horse-power V-8 engine, the line includes in-cludes eight body types, the coupe, Tudor and Fordor sedans, as well as the club coupe, convertible j cabriolet, club convertible cabriolet, cabrio-let, convertible sedan and the phaeton. The two lines of cars have the same improved V-8 chassis, but their styling is distinctly different The de luxe care are larger in appearance. The hood has been lengthened. Its nearly vertical front is carried in a "V" well down into the radiator grille, with the familiar V-8 emblem at the tip of the "V". Horizontal lines of the grille bars and the louvres are echoled in a bright rustless steel band which is carried along the belt to the rear. The new standard line cars also present a larger appearance, with a newly-designed front end, grille, hood and fenders. The front end is formed in a "V", with the horizontal hori-zontal grille bars extending unbroken un-broken along, the hoodside to form the louvres. Fenders in both cars are massive, mas-sive, formed lower to provide more complete coverage of the running gear and extending farther back. Headlamps are again recessed in front fender aprons, new type tail lamps in the tips of rear fenders. Interiors of the two cars are roomy and attractive, styled in keeping with the exteriors. The de luxe sedan interiors are larger. |
