Show NEW FORD TO BE HERE THIS FRIDAY The new Ford V-S for 1934 is now on display in more than 7,000 Ford j dealerships throughout the United States, Eilsel B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor company has announced, an-nounced, and western Beaver county residents are to be priviliged to see and drive the new Ford through a special arrangement of the Petty Motor company of Cedar City, where-I where-I by one of the latest model cars will j be on display a. Bill Nicholas' garage on Friday of this week. Local people I are invited to inspect it, ride in it, and drive it, according to a large j display ad of the Petty Motar com-I com-I pany appearing in this issue of The I News. I As revealed by Henry Font and his ! son to several score newspaper correspondents:, cor-respondents:, special writers and photographers, the new Ford has greater power, more speed, quicker acceleration, smoother performance, more miles per gallon, especially at higher speed, and quicker starting in cold weather, plus refined body linos and a new built-in system of clear-vi-ion body ventilation. The improvements in engine pe-formance pe-formance are the result of the use of I a new dual down-draft carburetor an11 duel intake manifild which increase the engine's power approximately 12 per cent and provide a remarkable improvement in pickup. "The new- car is the best car the Ford Motor company ever built," the Ford president said. "Basically, it is the same car as the hundreds of thousands thou-sands of other Ford V-S's now on the road. It simply incorporates numerous numer-ous improvements in engine and chassis design, the new holy ventilation ventila-tion system and refinements in body .tyling and appointments which have I been brought to a proper stage of development de-velopment during the past year in our engineering research." The new Ford ventilation system, which is built into the body, permits clear vision, prevents drafts and provides pro-vides the desired amount of fresh air in any weather. Individual control is privided for both front and rear side window-s. When ventilntion is desired the window glass is raised to the top. Then the handle is given nn additional addition-al half turn. This slides the glass I back horizontally to form a narrow' j slot between the glass and the frame. Through this slot air is drawn out by : the forward motion of the car. This simple ventilation system I maintains a draft-free circulation of i air and prevents fogging windshields and windows in cold or stormy weather. Both windshield and cowl ventilator can be opened to supply additional air for warm weather! driving. ; i The distinctive lines of the Ford V-S have been refined in the 1934 carj by a newly-designed radiator shell, SriUe and other uatures. Interiors j reveal new tufted upholstery and! 'garnish moldings, a cove-type headlining, head-lining, new instrument panel, arm :rests, door pulls and hardware. Sun visors are provided in all closed car.--,; those in the.de luxe cars being of, swivel type to prevent felare both ; from the front and sides. ; 1 Fenders on de ,luxe cars are in color to harmonize with body colors.' '. Wheel colors are optional. A new enamel finish is used on all bodies, j 1 This has greater wearing qualities, a more enduring lustre and requires only washing to restore its brilliance. Bodies are of steel, electrically, welded one-piece construction. J All body types are equipped with' ; Included are both standard and rie iuxe types of the Tudor, Fordor, o-window o-window coupe; the ie luxe roadster. i phaeton and 3-window oupe, as well, as the cabriolet and victoria. The' victoria body has been newly-design-; ed, to afford additional passenger room. A large luggage compartment j is provided in the rear. ! All body types, are equipper wirhj ' safety glass windshields, while the de, luxe body types are fitted with safety . 1 glass throughout. j Because. of the increase in engine power over the whole speed range, an' ! appreciable increase in top speed is; attained. The flexibility of the car j ' its ability to pick up speed quickly in; I traffic or to cruise in crowded streets' without shifting out of high gear j also has leen materially improved.' The increase in top speed, without j sacrifice of safety, permits driving at latively high speeds with increased' i safety and without engine strain. j I The engine is fitted with aluminum ! cylinder heads, heat resisting hiurh: chrome high tungsten, steel exhaust! valve inserts and nn entirely new casti aljoy steel crankshaft which .engineers .engi-neers rate as a marked improvement' over the forged steel member form-j erly used. The aluminum cylinder heads permit the use of high com-: com-: pression, giving greater power, with-; with-; out requiring the use of premium fuels of high anti-knock quality. The valve inserts, together with the special heat resisting chrome . nickel alloy valves, maintain the engine's original high efficiency' over long periods. The sew earburation system and other engine refinements not only give better gasoline mileage and oil economy but also insure smoother operation at all speeds and particularly particu-larly at normal .driving speeds. With the new carburetor is used a duel intake in-take manifold which distributes the vapoiized gasoline equally to each cylinder , very materially improving engine performance and providing quicker starting in cold weather. Ga-oline Ga-oline economy is increased two or ihree miles per gallon. Test runs show that the new engine will give 20 miles per gallon at 45 miles an hour. Another important engine improvement improve-ment is the use of water line thermostats. thermo-stats. Thes eare automatic mechanical valves which prevent the warm water in the engine from passing out into the cooling radiator until the proper temperature is reached for maximum operating efficiency. In cold weathei, the thermostats enable the engine to warm up quickly and maintain an efficient ef-ficient running temperature. Ford spring design takes advantage advan-tage of the principle of the transverse trans-verse spring. It provides the utmost stability and safety, the practical minimum of unsprung weight with the least possible frame distortion. The Ford spring design tends to prevent pre-vent the body from tilting on uneven Both front and rear springs are placed crosswise. This transverse design de-sign permits free and easy action of all four wheels because the springs are attached to the axles at their outer flexible tips. This type of construction con-struction retains the important advantages ad-vantages of the solid axle and yet minimires road shocks transmitted to the frame anil body because the .-hocks are absorbed first by the. most sensitive part of the spring. The rear spring on the 1934 car has been redesigned to provide smoother riiling. Improved double-acting hydraulic hy-draulic shock absorbers which act independently in-dependently of weather or road surface sur-face conditions are used. Seat (Continued on next page) NEW FORD HERE (Continued from preceding page) cushions have deeper, softer springs. New type individual bucket seats ate used in the Tudor. Driving ease also has been increased in-creased by the. use of a new 15-to-l steering gear ratio. The frame is of the double X-type, with the X member mem-ber running to the rear of the frame to give greater strength. Brakes are of the mechanical type with 1S6 square inches of breaking surface. Other features of the chassis are a silent synchronizing transmission, torque tube drive, three quart'-r floating rear axle, one-piece welded steel spoke wheels and 17 x 5.50 tires. |
