THE UNIVERSAL CAR
ANNOUNCEMENT!
MR. EDSEL B. FORD, PRESIDENT OF THE FORD MOTOR
COMPANY, GIVES OUT .THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
“Another reduction has been made in the list price of
all types of Ford cars and the Ford tri}ck to take effect
immediately. The list prices, F. O. B. Detroit, are now
as follows:
f
h
);
I
F*
f
r

i:
TOURING CAR .$415.00
RUNABOUT . 370.00
COUPE . 695.00
SEDAN . 760.00
CHASIS . 345.00
TRUCK-CHASSIS . 495.00
TRACTOR . 625.00
$
“The big reductions last fall were made in anticipation
of low material costs which we are now getting the
benefit pf, and this fact together with increased manu
facturing efficiency and the unprecedented demand for
Ford cars, particularly during the past three months
permitting maximum production, have made another
price reduction possible immemdiately.
“Ford business for April and May 1921 was greater by
56,633 cars and trucks than for the same two months in
1920; in fact, the demand has been even greater than
the supply, so that our output has been limited, not by
unfilled orders but by manufacturing facilities.
i
“During May we produced 101,424 Ford cars and trucks
for sale in the United States alone—the biggest month in
the history of our company—and our factories and
assembly plants are now working on a 4,000 car daily
| schedule for June. i
“The Fordson tractor is still being sold at less than the
cost to produce on account of the recent big price reduc
tions, and it is impossible, therfore, to make any future
cut in the price of the tractor.”
Can you afford to go without a car any longer when
Fords are selling at these new low prices? There is no reason now
why you should delay purchasing a Ford car, Ford truck, or Fordson
tractor.
We will gladly advise you concerning the delivery of a
Fordson tractor of the particular type of car in which you are in
terested. Just ’phone us or drop us a card.
