All New for 1950 - Ardent Estate 400 Series
Safety, sleekness, and strength. These are the three Sâs that Ardent puts in every new 1950 Estate wagon.
All-steel construction and hydraulic assisted brakes give you peace of mind on the road. Standard.
Aerodynamic design, adapted from the Midnight line of sport coupes gives you stability and economy in tough winds. Standard.
A new 102 horsepower Orion six-cylinder engine gives the strength to move at your command. Standard.
Ardent believes in giving you value in every car. Thatâs why the new Estate 400 series wagons have all of these features and more, standard.
And if standard isnât enough, the Estate is offered in three levels, catering to your every desire.
See your local Ardent dealer to arrange a test drive, and see why Ardent is the choice for you.

âOne hundred and two horsepower.â Jack Chancellor slammed his fist into the engine schematics on his test. âOne hundred and two horsepower is not enough, John.â
âItâs all I had to give, sir,â John protested.
âYou had the entire design resources of the power division at your fingertips, and all you could come up with was a hundred and two? God damn it, John, you were supposed to be able to pull the balls off a bull with this thing, and youâve made it a goat jockey?â Jack growled.
âSir, Mr. Wainwright keptâŚâ
âDonât put this on someone else, Jack.â
The senior engineer had had enough. He shot up from his chair, grabbed the chair next to it, and flung it across the room. âWill you listen to me, you old jackass?â
Jack was taken aback. He stood up, taking a drag from his cigarette. There was a brief pause. âGo on, then.â
âMr. Wainwrightâs Taurus project is almost two years behind schedule,â John protested, starting to calm down. âThere was no V8 available. I couldnât put anything more than an Orion in. And if you REALLY want to know whose fault that is,â the engineer laughed nervously as he ran his hands through his hair. âItâs yours, sir. For putting too much work on him and not giving him enough engineers.â
Jack set his cigarette in the ash tray, sat down, and calmly folded his hands in front of him. âThis is going to cost us, John.â
âNo, sir. Itâs going to cost YOU. The projectâs almost done. Your golden boy can finish it out. I quit.â
John Case turned and took three steps before his boss stopped him.
âSo thatâs it? Your illustrious career is going to end with, what, a mediocre wagon? Is that how you want to be remembered?â
John turned around and snarled. âWhat do you care? Youâre too stuck in your ways. You donât listen to what anyone says, save for Stanton. Youâd rather run this company into the ground than adapt.â
Jack lifted his cigarette from the tray to his mouth, leaning back as he inhaled. âMaybe not. You know, John, itâs been a long-ass time since anyoneâs had the balls to call me out on anything. But are you right about this? About Desmond?â
âAbsolutely,â he retorted without hesitation.
âAlright then. One more project for you. One to be remembered for the ages. Instead of fizzling out, youâll be remembered,â the CEO made an emphatic gesture with his hands, âas the man who brought Ardent out of the war, and led Stanton Glass to his golden age.â
John rolled his eyes and groaned. âYou seriously want me to work with THAT arrogant son of a bitch?â
Jack nodded and puffed.
John paused for a moment. âIâll consider it.â

Guilt-patriot tripping people into buying our cars is the best marketing strategy we could think of, because honestly, there arenât any redeeming features of this thing

Redeeming feature: Yours is much better looking than mine.
Not redeeming feature: You managed to squeeze out less HP from 50 more cubes than my straight six. 
(now preparing to drag Savage/Wasp into the Bogliq-Ardent rivalry)

Takemiâs submission. Kei cars werenât really around until the mid to late 1950âs, so I thought Iâd do a passenger version facelift of the van thing I did for '46.
