It also appeals to the need for people to look good and stylish with it's very elegant look compared to Ford's workhorse, the Model-T. // __<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #4f81bd; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'AR DELANEY'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: accent1;">Scotch Tape __<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #4f81bd; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'AR DELANEY'; mso-themecolor: accent1;"> //This Ad probably was trying to appeal to women more than men with the two pictures of women in the middle.
