The New York to Seattle Race
was won by a Ford Model " T " car taken from stock. This car won the hardest,
longest race ever run, beating cars of from 45 to 60 h. p., selling for from $4,500 to
$6,000. In this race from ocean to ocean, this Ford car established a new record for
the trip, made the record in open competition, and not only arrived first in Seattle,
thereby winning the Guggenheim Trophy, but was first at 27 out of a total of
30 checking stations.
The same car went the entire trip
complied with all the rules and arrived in Seattle,- after making the 4, 100 miles in

40 das and 52 minutes, without having had to make a replacement of any of its parts, all parts bearing the marks of
identification with which they were stamped at New York. The Shawmut entry arrived the following day, the
Acme one week latr, the foreign representative, Itala, gave up at Cheyenne, Wyo., and the Stearns did not get out
of New York State.
The practicability of the car
on every conceivable road condition was thereby unqualifiedly proven. You can not
go back on such facts as this race brought out. Do you want a boulevard car? The
Model "T" Ford easily held its own on the macadamized roads of New York and
Ohio. It ran from Buff aid to Cleveland, 196 miles, in 7 hours. Must your car run
well on roads deep with mud? The Ford leaving Cleveland in the pouring rain, and
at the same time as all other cars, traveled 125 miles in the mud and arrived in Toledo
four hours ahead of its nearest competitor.
Do you want a car for the hills?

The winner crossed four mountain ranges, Catskill, Rocky, Blue and Cascade, and
had no difficulty making better time than its heavy competitors. It was pre-eminently superior in this mountainous
country, as well as in sand, and had there been sleeping arrangements on the car as was the case with competitive
cars, the Ford could have easily increased its lead one or more days. t , , , vv
Additional reasons for preferring Ford , . ,- -
cars are presented in its maintenance figures. On average roads, the winning car made 22 to 25 miles an hour on a
gallon of gasoline. It arrived in Seattle with the original wind in both front tires and the rear tires were changed
only because of wear caused by constant use of the chains. Ford owners there are now nearly 30,000, 10,000 of
them having Model " T " cars have shown by actual figures that the replacement and repair item is very small and
as all are parts standardized and 1,500 dealers carry repairs, any part can be quickly obtained anywhere in the World
and at' a minimum price, for that is fixed by the Ford Motor Company and is based on cost of complete car.-.

Two cars for the price of one " .
or rather for less for a touring car bought today or a turnabout or roadster can, in less than an hour, be converted
into a coupe, landaulet or town car for cold weather service. Buy an open car, now, and when the season changes buy
a closed body. The expense is small,, just the cost of the body (call or send for price list) and the labor as noted.
