NOW is the time to buy a good used car. The weather is right—and Ford Dealers have the biggest values in history. And the biggest selection. And a wide range of prices. Remember this — all used cars sold by Ford Dealers are divided into three classes. Ford Dealers tell the truth about used cars. R&G Used Cars — The R&C tag on a used car means two things — the car is renewed and guaranteed. Renewed for long, trouble-free service by expert mechanics. Guaranteed by the dealer himself to meet definite specifications. SQUARE DEAL VALUE Used Cars — Every car with a Square Deal V alue emblem is guaranteed to be exactly as specified on the tag attached. Each car is rigidly inspected and, if any part is not in first-class shape, its condition is plainly marked on the tag. In this way, Ford Dealers protect your investment.
