TWO NEW FORDS—COUPELET AND SEDAN
...... ' j • In January last the Ford Motor Company announced the amazing $10,000,000 profit-sharing plan for Ford employees, -in August came the announcement of a further extension of that profitsharing to Ford retail purchasers, providing 300,000 Fords are sold between August Ist, 1914, and August Ist, 1915. Now comes still another signiflthe announcement of the Ford Motor Company—the third within a period of nine months. This is the announceent of the Ford “Couelet” and the new Ford “Sedan” Both these new bodies are built, of course, upon the world-famous Ford chassis which is already serving 600,000 Ford owners. Both the “Coupelet” and “Sedan” are cars de luxe* - _ The top of the “Coupelet” is of genuine handbuffed leather and it has beautiful lines, graceful curves and well-balanced proportions. The scat is broad and wide and the deep upholstery and splendid bal' : ance of the car make “Coupelet”lidlng most ’uxurious. The price of the “Ooupelei,” fully equipped f. o. b. Detroit, is $750. The new Ford “Sedan” is an ele,gant five-jirissenger ear. This sumptuous body, too, is built on the famous Fold standard chassis. The right-hand front seat folds back out of the way when not in usd. The windshield of triple ventilating type is especially designed to protect the driver against the elements and still gives p'erfect ventilation. It is claimed that for 1 all-around luxury, strength, family comfort, durability and economy of operation this new Ford “Sedan” has no equal. The price the “Sedan” is $975, fully equipped, f. o. b. Detroit. The buyers of the “Coupelet” and the “Sedan,” too, will participate in the profit-sharing—provided the Ford Motor Company sells 300,000 cars at retail between August, 1914, and August, 1915. This is virtually already an accomplished fact, so tremendous have been Ford sales since the August announcement of the nSw prices.—Adv.
