1931 Ford Advertisement, "For Greater Safety on Every Highway"
Add to SetSummary
Safety was an infrequent theme in early automobile advertisements, but it's central in this 1931 ad for the Ford Model A. The advertisement spotlights the Model A's safety-glass windshield, with two pieces of plate glass laminated to a clear plastic layer. If the windshield broke, the plastic held the glass pieces together to reduce the risk of cuts.
