1941 Ford Trucks

Ford Dealer Pre-War Promo

This exceptional color post card was provided by Ford for its dealers to send to prospective customers. It has a distinctive picture of pre-war Ford trucks, unloading at the dock and on the road. Ford was taking advantage of the pre - WW II market. The upcoming war was inevitable. Large production factories were already preparing for a changeover to producing war materials. 

The reverse side has a paragraph saying, RIGHT NOW we’re trading high! Come in for a big deal on a big new 1941 Ford Truck or Commercial Car powered for your loads with Your choice of Engines ~ 90 or 95 Horsepower, V8 or 30 Horsepower super economy Four. Quality engineered, Quality built for outstanding performance, economy, long life! Ask for …… and a place for a salesman to sign it.

It has the address of the dealer, Houston Motor Co. Main Street, Houston, Mo. We marked it as new, because it never had a stamp on it nor was it mailed. It is slightly curved from going through the typewriter to type the customer’s name and address on it, but frames flat. It also says, Day Phone 94, Night Phone 103. It has a place for a 1¢ stamp and has been addressed by a typewriter, but never stamped or sent.

This is a unique frame-able for the Ford Truck enthusiast. It is 3 ½ by 5 ½ inches. We found a small box of various Ford car and Truck cards like this in the back of a file cabinet of an old Ford Dealership being demolished. No folds, no tears, no nips, no fading, hasn’t seen daylight for well over 80 years! Perfect Condition.
