This 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:
President Taft gave the starting signal
It is June 1, 1909. For weeks
the papers have carried the exciting news.
Now, before New
York's City Hall five "horseless
carriages"-an Acme, a Shawmut,
an ltala and two Model-T
Fords-stand hub to hub.
Anxiously mechanics make final
adjustments. Then, from the
White House, President Taft
flashes the starting signal. And
America's first transcontinental
auto race is under way.
West of St. Louis, seven d-ay
rains had turned the roads into
quagmires. Across the prairies and
in Colorado average speeds were
out to ten miles an hour,
At Cheyenne, Wyoming, the
big Itala quit the race. The others
plowed on. Near the Summit Of
the Cascades they fought their
way against towering snow drifts.
Days later, Ford Car Number
2 -the winner -entered the gates
of Seattle's Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition. It had crossed
the continent in 22 days and 55
minutes, with New York air still
in the two front tires!
As he awarded the trophy cup,
Col. M. Robert Guggenheim said:
The proof of that statement
no longer rests in a single car,
which won a race, but in the 30
million cars and trucks Ford has
built since then. And today mil
lions of them are providing reliable,
economical transportation
for wartime America.
Meanwhile the inventive gen
ius and the precision skills associated
with the name Ford continue
to serve the nation in the mass
production of giant aircraft and
other means to victory.
In the days of peace ahead,
Ford's resourcefulness in developing
new ideas and methods will
again produce soundly engineered
motor cars, priced within reach
of the largest number of people.
