Sales Brochure, "Know the Thrill of Driving the New Ford V-8," 1934
Add to SetSummary
Ford's V-8 engine, introduced in 1932, was an immediate hit, outselling the company's four-cylinder unit from the start. This 1934 brochure promoted the V-8's technical design, its smooth performance, and its accomplishments on the race track. Low price was the engine's greatest feature -- the Ford V-8 started at $510, while the nearest-competing V-8 car started around $2,500.
