MOTORDOM’S MONARCHS.

J FORD AT THE snow. ’ The truth of the saying that my .Impressions count has been 131:9“0‘! [this week at the \\‘aikatn \Vinter iShow. It. is quite in order to so flu“- ' [her and add that “ Love at first Sight ' its a fitting slogiul for the. stall oi ‘Armstrong Motors. Ltd., or coilinglwood Street, Hamilton. This “all" Iknown firm. who are agents for Ford cars and trucks are exhibiting in the main annexe just inside the first eutrance. from \Vard Street. i Evidence of their appeal is the fact tthat within a few minutes of the om'cial show opening the first -car was [sold at this stand. | New lines of beauty distinguish the Ford V 8 for i936—line-s that accentuate length and give the car new grace in motion. The outstanding power, speed and acceleration of its dependable eight cylinder engine prove that there is something about a. V 8 ’that cannot be found in any other engine. ‘ A Ford V 8 Standard 4-door con—‘vinclngly demonstrates the indepen—--Ident springing action on all four wheels. Despite the fact that the from right wheel is resting on top of a 12-inch stand and the rear left wheel raised to a similar height, the ,body of the car is perfectly even. Con—isidor the riding comfort to ‘be obtained Ifrom this action on rough roads. A smart Touring F-order de Luxe iconl~ pletes the V 8 display. A particularly striking fact about the English Ford Light Cars is their luniversality of appeal. Their great:popularity has spread to many foreign Ecountrie‘s in addition to the British .Empire. The new 10 horse power English Ford and the 8 horse power models are probably the most discussed light cars at the Show. These cars offer a higher standard or comfort and refinement and appeal to those who prefer economy with the maxi;mum of comfort and dependability. i For economical, rapid and depend,able transport Ford has no equal. The .displey oi’ the V 8 50 owt. long wheel :base dual-wheel chests justifies the i Ford slogan, “ Proved by the past, im:proved for the future." All over the '\\'orid . . under every conceivable , condition of road and load and weather, ' they have performed such widely difiierent jobs as long~distance hauling lwith heavily—loaded semi-trailers and ineigh'bou‘rhood delivery work . . all iwith equal satisfaction. . Do not miss this year‘s display—already many sales have been effected at the stand—so tempting are these new models. The colour schemes of lthe exhibits are receiving all—round commendation. The stall is well!staifed by trained Ford representatives, who are ready at all times to demonstrate any of the models. Visitors are reminded of the cordial invitation to inspect the full Ford series at the [showrooms in Collingwood Street.
