This is an advertising film for the 1928 Ford model A.  At 22.12 minutes into the film, a test car pulls in front of a building with a phone sign.

This is the first sign I have found in all the images I have seen.

That film was not treated well by Grandfather time.

It looks like a better projection unit would've given a better image.  I see other films from Ford of that period and they look a good deal better.  The focus was bad on this one.
