STRENGTH AND SAFETY
IN THE BDrv OF 5TEEL
If you could see the main body structure of
Dodge Brothers Business Coupe before the
enamel is baked on, and before the interior is
'. furnished, you would be profoundly impressed by
its strength.
You would see that every panel, every pillar, and
svery rib is steel that even the door sills and
window mouldings are steel.
You would see that all of those parts and sections
are electrically welded together into one staunch
steel body, with no bolts or rivets to work loose,
nothing to rattle or squeak or warp.
And you would realize that, like the all-steel
Pullman coach, this unique construction origin
' ated by Dodge Brothers for this car represents
the last word in protection to passengers the
ultimate achievement in closed car sturdinoss.
The price of the Business Coupe is 91170.00 delivered
