“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 reliable car service
The ForeJCoupe is a mighty cosy car in that in is ab-
solutely water-tight at the same tirpe 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 his proven particularly a valuable car for traveling salesmen physicians engineers architects and
others who have much out-of-door work oil the year around We have never been able to fully meet sU de-
mands for the Ford Coupe but with the increased producing capacities of the factory we t re now able to
make reasonably prompt deliveries Yet we urge youdo leave your order wKh as little delay as possible—
