Ford Trucks
Across every conceivable land or road condition, a Ford truck can carry the load.
Overview
Ford never missed a trick when it came to demonstrating the all-round capability and general ruggedness of their trucks. The 1929 model on trial here reaches parts of Britain that no road-going vehicle had yet traversed. The driver in this film has no reservation about taking his vehicle cross country, and the trucks are demonstrated as the "farmer's friend". Although this film is unfortunately incomplete, the message is clear: you can go anywhere with a Ford!
