MAJOR CHANGES ANNOUNCED IN FORD AUTOMOBILES
Detroit, Michigan (JFK+50) Ford Motor Company announced on August 26, 1925 "the most pronounced changes ever made in the body (of Ford automobiles) since adoption of the model T chassis."
The new Ford line will be introduced immediately in all assembly plants in the United States.
Improvements include "lower, all-steel bodies on a lowered chassis," and the option of "color in closed cars" as opposed to the here-to-fore standard black.
The vehicles will have improved brakes and larger compartments for driver and passenger."
JFK+50 NOTE
Henry Ford once suggested the customer could have any color he wanted "as long as it is black."
