This authentic, great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed in a 1944 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Exciting as the race in “Ben Hur”!
HERE was an expectant hush.
Then, out of the darkness of
this June night in 1908, flashed a
scene of breath-taking action.
A "spectacular" sign had been
erected on the old Wonderland
Building, to give Detroit its first
glimpse of the Model "T" Ford.
"Watch the Fords go by!" the
message read. And in the light
and color of 2000 twinkling electric
bulbs, a Ford touring car appeared
to race along the Grosse
Pointe shoreline. The wheels
turned, scuffing up clouds of dust.
The scenery Shifted constantly.
The veils of the women passengers
streamed in the breeze. The
crowd in the square began to
cheer. "It's exciting as the race
in `Ben Hur'," said an onlooker.
The newspapers thought so, too.
"Hour after hour," wrote one
reporter, "the auto hurried, defied
speed and natural laws alike,
every instant Seemingly on the
verge of tipping into space down
in the street below."
From that far-off day to this,
people have continued to "watch
the Fords go by". They have
watched the total mount to 1
million in 1915-to 15 million in
1927-and on up to 30 million.
They have seen these Ford cars
and trucks shrink distances and
help increase the productivity of
the nation. They have seen them
wipe out the traditional barriers
between city and country, between
mountain and plain, and help
spread the advantages of American
culture and opportunity.
One day, there will be new Ford,
Mercury and Lincoln cars. Like
their predecessors, they will benefit
by the energetic skill8 and resourceful
engineering which are a
Ford trade-mark. They will be
exceptionally comfortable cars,
reliable and economical . . . priced
within reach of the greatest number.
