Ford Provides New Eight Cylinder Engine Features
An early Ford advertisement announces a new V eight cylinder 65 horsepower engine with a vibrationless, roomy body and a low center of gravity. It highlights a silent second gear, a smooth gear shift, top speeds around 75 mph, comfortable ride, rapid acceleration, and low fuel use from a fourteen gallon rear tank. A choke on the instrument panel is noted and an improved four cylinder 50 horsepower engine is offered for lighter models.
