New Model Ford Assured
Henry Himself Confirms Rumor Current All Winter
--acts About Social Problems in Russia to Be Object of Venture
Detroit, May 28.—A new model
automobile designed by Henry Ford
will be produced in the near future,
it was announced today.
It is understood that the parts and replacements for the model T Ford will be produced in as great quantity as before.
"with the new Ford," Henry Ford said, "we propose to continue in the light car field we created on the same basis of quantity production we have always used, with low price and constant service.
"At present all that I can say about the new model is that it will have speed, flexibility and ease of control in traffic. There is no other car like it. It will eat more to manpower than it will be economical but it will be economical to operate."
The general impression gained by the United Press in the factories was that the new car is a four-cylinder and has a gear-shift. This, however, is a matter of conjecture. It is understood that production will begin about July 1 or 15, which will not involve the market later in the summer.
Mr. Ford said that work on the new model was begun several years ago, but because of the popularity of the present model T Ford, there was never an opportunity to get the new car started until now.
