“The purpose of this book is to describe in simple language how the new owner-driver, as well as the more experienced motorist, may obtain the best possible results from his Ford ‘New Prefect’. This book is written for those who take pride in the appearance of their cars, and for those who are able to devote the relatively small amount of time necessary to maintain them in first class running order… The following pages also give detailed instruction so that lubrication may be carried out regularly and thoroughly.  A section has been devoted top overhauling to the extent possible by the average mechanically minded owner.”
