1909 Ford Model T LIFE Magazine Ad - 'High Priced Quality in a Low Priced Car'

This is a cropped scan of a vintage Ford advertisement that appeared in LIFE magazine, as indicated by the '· LIFE ·' masthead across the top of the page. The image shows a side-profile photograph or illustration of an early Ford touring car — an open-body automobile with a folded convertible top at the rear, wooden-spoke wheels, brass-era lamps and radiator, and a right-hand steering position. Beneath the car appears the Ford script logo along with the advertising slogan 'HIGH PRICED QUALITY IN A LOW PRICED CAR.' No model designation, model year, price, specifications, or dealer information are visible in this cropped portion of the advertisement; any additional ad copy that may have appeared below the slogan is cut off. The document was uploaded to a gallery for a 1909 Ford Model T, and the vehicle depicted is consistent in style with a brass-era Ford touring car of that period, though the ad itself does not state a year or model in the visible area. Readers can learn how Ford marketed its cars in period print advertising, emphasizing quality at a low price.
