In a driving rainstorm an Overland Whippet Sedan
again demonstrated its economy, road stability and
stamina, making a record run from Philadelphia to
Pittsburgh and return, a distance of 620 mifes, la'
less than one day, averaging 29 miles per gallon.
Over mountain roads, down steep grade with 4)
wheel brakes functioning perfectly, despite the slixv'
pery, rain-swept highways, the Whippet maintained
a high rate of speed throughout the entire trip,
If you want economy, performance and plenty of
interior room, by all means aee the Whippet.

WHAT IS
'HIGH TEST" GASOLINE?
1
A TRUE HIGH TEST GASOLINE is one that vaporizes in
stead of atomizes. That is the Texaco characteristic. It goes
into the cylinders dry, ignites instantly, fires cleanly and burns
completely. .
A true high test gasoline has a low "initial boiling point," a
low "end point" and low distiiration temperatures at every stage
between. That is the complete description of the new and better
Texaco Gasoline.
It is a better fuel, for winter especially, because it starts quick
ly and gives a smoother flow of power while the engine is
wanning up.

Beyond Comparison

k TTEMPT to compare Chrysler "60"
L features and you'll find the Chry
L JL sler "60" offered from the first all
"new" features claimed by other makes
obviously bettered, plus many others that
cannot be duplicated because they are
typically and inherently Chrysler.
Of course, the Chrysler "60" has finely
balanced seven bearing crankshaft, im
pulse neutralizer, oil-filter, nir-cleaner,
Chrysler four-wheel hydraulic brakes, full
pressure lubrication, manifold heat control
and road leveli:ers front and rear has had
these and many other features ever since
its introduction.
But the really distinctive advantages of the
"60" are its incomparable Chrysler char
acteristics its inimitable performance, its
unfailing dependability and long life, its '
superb beauty of design, coloring and ap
pointment features that are unique and
must remain unique due to the Chrysler
plan of Quality Standardization.
