Ford's car was far K-3S sophisticated than those currently driv­ en in Kurope. But '!:<-• thought of ;i vehicle which could actually pi-self without the aid of horses, rails. wiv:«- v;jn power, was something which grahix."., ' •'•:!! ion of people. A group of specuiato; :' < . (ho Detroit Automobile Co. to promote I - ;ar Kven with Ford as chief engineer, tit.- wnpativ went bust after building fewer than 2."; cars. To make a name for himself. Ford won a race with his own two-cylinder. 26-horsepower car. The win helped Ford gel backing from some former associates to form a new company, the Henry Ford Co.. in November. 1901. After a Model A 'not the Model A of 25 years later1 and Models C. F. B. K. N. R. and S. Ford finally found the letter of the alphabet which would pui his name into the history books -- T. The Model T was announced on Oct. 1. 1908. Made of strong. 170,000-pound vanadium steel <most cars were made of HO.OOO-pound tensile- strength steelj Ford's cars were ready for practically anything. In the meantime. Ford sold his cars for $000. one-tenth the price of most other cars The T was an instant success. Within months, more'of them were being sold than all other American cars combined. In 1909. a Mode! T cost $850. The s tme car sold for $600 in 1912. $450 in 1918 and an incredible $290 in 1924. It's sale figures read like the attendance marks for modern-day baseball teams. Ford sold 1.050.741 Model T's in 1921 and peaked at 2.201.188 two years later. In the meantime. Rolls Royce was selling just thousands of Silver Ghosts; Model T No. 15 million rolled out of the factory on May 26.1927. But Ford had a new model on tap, the Model A. which picked up where the T left off. After that the Ford Motor Company. Henry's compa­ ny. h;:d other triumphs - the Lincoln. Thunder- bird and Mustnn«» notablv -- and a dismal failure * the K'dsel, named after Ford's only son. Not all of Henry Ford's life was perfect The Chicago Tributie once called him an igno ­ rant idealist, and in the'libel suit that followed.' Ford was ridiculed for his ignorance ()f ( S history.,his inability to read well-and his paci­ fism. That seemed to change Ford, who* changed from an outgoing man to an isolated one. Ford died in 1947. after Kdsel passed away and after Henry had made his grandson presi­ dent of Uie company. But with the the Model T and its,' son." the Model A - along with his cither contributions -- Henry Ford had left an indelible mark upon history. * Old Henry's cars are still tough, too. Ask the 16-year-old who crunched a Datsun's rear quar- terpanel in a parking lot mishap shortly after receiving his driver's license. The Datsun re­ ceived the worse end of the deal and his father's LTD had only a cracked tail light and small dent. An old joke sometimes heard involves the ' true meaning" of the name "Ford," which supposedly stahds for •••Fix or Repair Dally.** That might have been true in the earlv days.. when a jaunt about the countryside at breath- taking speeds of 20 miles per hour would some­ times take their toll on cars. But automobile woes are still true today, as owners of any car can tell yoq -- be It from Detroit. Japan. Swe- den. Germany or even a build-your-otyn kit. Yes. Henry Ford left his mark on America. His name is still synonymous with cars, and the company he started still churns out automobiles. Looking at highways and showrooms today, one wonders what Ford would think if he could see the Ford Aerostar. the latest venture into the mini-van market. And what of the Ford Escort, a compact car not much bigger than his Model T?. He'd probably sit back, smile and say, "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants, 90 long as it is black." Happy birthday, Mr. Ford. Air conditioning needs attention It your car's air- conditioner keeping you completely coo) this summer?, If not, says Car Care Council, check it out. Hie ,tWo most common pro­ blems that turn up. in car air-conditioners are refrigerant leaks and inoperative com­ pressors. These pro­ blems can hinder a system's performance and cause it to falter when It's needed the most. Most leaks occur at fittings where lines are joined together or where a line connects to another component. Leaks can drain the s y s t e m o f t h e refrigerant needed to maintain sufficient charge. If the level is low, the teaks should be repaired -and the system recharged. While leaks account for the majority of car air-conditioner pro* blettis, an additional area not to overlooked Ifr the Efficient opera­ tion of the fratftn's compressor; its drive belt should be in­ spected for wear and adjusted for the proper tension. A worn belt should be replaced by a ser­ vice technician, who also can check the operation of the com­ pressor's magnetic clutch. Sound* ofTrouble A noisy exhaust system is a clue to dangerous trouble, wurns the Car Care Council, peadly car­ bon monoxide fumes can seep, into the car, causing sleepiness and slowed reflexes. Don't ignore the telltale sound of leak­ ing exhaust. It can be fatal. Keep it Clean Your car may have as many as 10 different kinds of filters, each performing a vital function. - One removes dust from the air that goes i n t o t h e e n g i n e ; another takes dirt out of the gasoline, both working to prevent engine wear and car­ buretor trouble. Then there's the one that removes contaminants from the engine oil and another filter on the automatic transmis­ sion. These and other car filters, when clogged, can cause needless ex­ pense and poor car operation. The Car Car C o u n c i l a d v i s e s regular servicing and replacement of the filters at recommend­ ed intervals. Battery a Patsy? Does your battery go dead before your engine springs to life? The Car Care Coun­ cil suggests that it may not be the bat­ tery's fault. Check for worn spark plugs or other ignition com­ ponents that cause a balky engine to run down a battery. The Council recommends p e r i o d i c e n g i n e diagnosis and engine tune-up for maximum d e p e n d a b i l i t y economy. a n d A Good Belt Helps Here's a tip to avoid car trouble. Improper­ ly cared-for cooling systems can result in stalled cars and expen­ sive repair bills. The Car Care Council sug­ gests periodic inspec­ tions of drive belts and radiator hoses to avoid cooling system pro­ blems. And be sure the cool­ ing system is clean and filled with the cor- r e c t m i x t u r e o f coolant. SPECIAL'!
