windows at a small extra charge
T* for the Coupe, De Luxe Coupe, Sport $Or|/°r tflc Tudor Sedan, Standard Sedan,
X Coupe or Convertible Cabriolet De Luxe Sedan, Town Sedan or Victoria
THE Triplex safety glass windshield has always been an outstanding feature of
the Model A Ford. By reducing the dangers of flying glass, it has saved many
lives and prevented countless injuries in automobile collisions.
Now comes a further assurance of safety to every Ford owner . . . polished
plait' safety glass in ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS at slight additional cost.
The charge for this extra protection is unusually low because of large
production and the development of new methods of manufacture. Simply tell
the dealer when you buy the Ford that you want “safely plate glass in all doors
an .1 w indows” and the car will be factory-equipped for you in that manner.
Today, as before, the safety gluiss windshield is furnished as standard equip*
ment on all Ford cars without extra charge.
FORD OtVNFIDi This announcement refers only to NEW CARS. Ford dealers are not in
a position to install safety glass in the windows of your present Ford at the above prices.
