THE UNIVERSAL CAR
“THE FORD COUPE”
HERE is one of the most useful of all closed cars. Specifically
so when not more than two or three are to be accommodated with re
liable car service. The Ford Coupe is a mighty cosy car, in tl^at it i^
absolutely water-tight, at the same time with its sliding plate glass!
windows you can have an open car, to all intents and purposes, in a
couple of minutes. So it doesn’t 'make any difference what the
weather may be, rain or shine, summer or winter, in the Ford Coupe
you have an enclosed car of comfort and service. What more do you
want?
It has proven particularly a valuable car for traveling sales
men, physicians, engineers, architects, and others who have much out
of-door work all the year around. We have never been able to fully
meet all demands for the Ford Coupe, but with the increased pro
ducing capacities of the factory we are now able to make reasonably
prompt deliveries. Yet we urge you to leave your order with as little
delay as possible—our allotment is limited.
