The New
We Built a $1 0,000,000 Body Plant
to Make This New Essex Possible
With All-Steel, Bolted and Riveted
Clear Vision Body
$975
"At Your Door"
Standard equipment includes:
Aulomntlc Windshield Clranrr,
Rear View Mlrror.Trnnsnil.Hinii
Ixck lhiilll-in. Radiator Shut
tara, Moto-Mrtcr, Cnmhinntlon
Slop and Tail Light.
Many of these advantages you will recog
nize at a glance. But you will have a higher
appreciation of their meaning when you
know that a plant of 18 acres which, with
equipment, approximated a cost of
'10,000,000, was first built and that special
machinery had to be designed, to make
possible this New Coach now on display.
Again Essex "6" offers in the design and
construction of the New Coach as radical
an improvement as was the original
Coach itself.
It is all steel, bolted and riveted, and so
rigid that squeaks, rattles and distortions,
arc as unlikely as in a steel building. Doors
are so hung that a man may hang on an
open door while the car is being driven over
rough roads, withoutspringingitoutof true.
And it is so designed and constructed as to
permit the use in a totally new manner
of a high baked enamel, most lustrous and
lasting finish. This has made possible new
combinations in finish that will please
your eye.
There has been constant improvement in
the chassis from the first Kssex shipped.
Kvery week has seen some betterment. But
only by the accumulation of the resources,
the infoimation, experience, and the skill
that have resulted from the purchase of
350,000 Essex "Sixes" in a short period of
time, was it possible to erect the plants, to
perfect the machinery, to create the designs
that have resulted in this car'which we ask
you to inspect and to drive as the best
looking, best value, best Essex ever built.
