What year is this advertisement
I just picked this up at an estate sale. What year do you think this is? My guess is 1941 pickup truck because of the new 4.

Re: What year is this advertisement
Cool piece. I'm thinking 1932 as the v8 was out and the "B" engine was "new". 1941 had the 4,6, and v8. Could be wrong.

I believe the 6-cylinder engine came-along later in the production year, likely after this advertising prop came to be. DD . |

Re: What year is this advertisement
My guess is also '32, because of the "New 4".
You can get different era's, using the different Ford script type. I can't remember the web page but, I read about that, a couple of years ago. Edit: I found a site, not the site I remember but, it appears that they used that logo from '27 - '56 so, it's no help. BTW, my dad was born in 1908 and the type of hand writing that was taught in KS, at that time was the "Palmer Method". That is the style writing in the second logo with the quote marks. He taught me how to form the F in my signature.

Re: What year is this advertisement
I would also guess 1932 because the sign states "New Fords" the '32, V8, was new and the next generation 4 cylinder was also new. Nice piece!

Re: What year is this advertisement
I vote 1933, they needed to increase excitement for the 4 cylinder engine so they changed the water pump and touted the counterweighted crankshaft. Maybe?

The piece does NOT make note of the "NEW V8", which was the BIG news for '32. Realistically, this has gotta be 1941! Interestingly, Churchill Motors was located at 32 Main Street. DD . |

Re: What year is this advertisement
That town is just a short distance from me. A poster on here with a unique name (who I bought my ‘50 Fordor from)lives just up the hill from Main St. I didn’t even see this till Dick called attention to the 32. Very nice …… and interesting!!….. Mark….15 miles from
Cornish, ME.

I looked at 32 Main St, Cornish, Maine on Google, and I could see nothing at that corner that looked anything like the remains of an old Ford dealership. Quaint, neat-looking little town, though. I always wanted to get up that way and see some "Mayberry"-like towns. DD . |

Re: What year is this advertisement
I tend to lean strongly to 41. For one thing to consider is a "four" would not be a NEW offering for 32.

Re: What year is this advertisement
The letter V mimics the style of V started in 40.

Re: What year is this advertisement
I agree with 41.
32 had the New V8 and the Improved 4. |

Re: What year is this advertisement
I have no idea of the year but wonder what the hole in the middle was for? At first I thought it was an old 45 record until I saw the size referenced to the table. Neat sign!

Re: What year is this advertisement
I think 1933 also due to the changes made to the 4 banger. Another interpretation could be "New Fords, V-8 (which was new) and "new 4" which was an improvement over the Model A 4 banger, so may also be 1932. No mention of a 6 so I don't think it was 1941

Re: What year is this advertisement
The hole in the middle is for the hubcap to help hold it on. It also has 4 tie straps to tie to the wheel. It is 27 3/4 inches inn outside diameter if that helps.
