would otherwise Jeuvo out on a

Out of line tend to scrape rather

take their car to a service station.

The illustration shows two Nash Advanced
Six enfiines hooked together in the great
Nash testing room.
One of these motors is driving the other,
to limber it up. After a few hours of this,
the motor now being driven will limber
up another. ,
Then, after 8 to 10 hours on its own power,
it will be taken apart. Bearings, connect
ing rods and pistons carefully inspected.
Valves ground and reseated.
Next, the trained ear of an engine ex
pert will listen to the operation of this
motor. When he is sure it is absolutely

Then another rigid examination, in the

are consumed before the motors shown
above are ready for their owners.
How easily Nash could save this time and
expense. You would never be able to see

Walter P. Chrysler and his engi
neers, in designing and developing
the six cylinder Chrysler "60",
strove for a quality of road-ease
and road-readiness and supreme
comfort which would at once set
it apart as a car umong cars, un
precedented at its price and its class.
The extent to which the Chry
sler "60"' is. dominating its own
field, is thus a dream gloriously
realized and an ambition splen
didly fulfilled.
Mechanically, the "60" has many
of tie very same features to be
SEDAN
found in the higher-priced Chrysler
"70" and Chrysler Imperial "80"
which include seven-bearing crank
shaft, invar-strut pistons, impulse
ncutraliver, manifold heat control,
air cleaner, oil filter, full pressure
' lubrication, hydraulic four-wheel
brakes and shock absorbers.
Come, see the Chrysler "60" and
note the essential fineness of its
Standardized Quality manufacture.
You'll recognize it, especially after
driving it, as a value utterly un
approached by any other six of
medium price.
