From an engineering standpoint The
Victory is radically new, radically differ
ent and thoroughly original is literally
years ahead of its time in many vital
features.
In a very real sense, too, it compares with
no other car or class, because NO car,
cither here or abroad, provides features
that are comparable. To enjoy these ad
vantages you must buy THIS car. for else
where they simply do not exist.
Revolutionary Nete Principles
of Design
1. For the first time since the invention '
of the automobile, the chassis and body
of The Victory are a single integral unit
the wide, deep Victory chassis frame,
(lush with the lines of the body, replaces
the customary body sills. (Heretofore,
the body was mounted on a sill and both
in turn mounted on the chassis.)
2. Fof the first time in history, battle
ship construction (i. e., double steel
' wiills) is here applied to the motor car.
Spectacular Performance
The results of these, and other basic in
norations are astonishing in their effect
on everv phase of motor car value; beauty,
comfort, safety, strength and most im
pressive and important of all ptrform
ame ihtlj.

Friendly Soiviee"
With chassis and body a single unit, there
are 330 fewer parts 175 pounds less
weight and n extremely low center of
gravity.
The results are greater motor efficiency
increased power quicker pick-up
greater stability and flexibility in relation
to load an easier car to handle a faster
car to drive!
21 miles to the gallon at 2 5 miles per
hour is precisely what you can expect
with sustained high speed all day long at
instant call!
Drive over robbles and await the usual
discomfort it will never occur! The
Victory is the smoothest riding car, for
its type, ever built.
Safe, Strong and Stable
Because the chassis frame conforms pre
cisely with the body lines and because
of the car's low center of gravity (weight
close to the ground) The Victory is re
markably stable tipping, skidding and
swayinjr are reduced to a point positively
negligible!
Turn a sharp corner and you will'under
stand!
And the double steel walls mean double
protection in case of accident double
the safety of any type yet known. A
staunch body, wuh doors that close with
a substantial ar'1 non-metallic snap.
Quiet an J Comfortable
The aim bf all engineering is simplicity,
L. C.
uth and Depot St.
for simplicity means economy strength
SILENCE. There are ooly 8 major
parts in The Victory body and they are
welded into a single unit. Not a joint to
squeak of rattle. A silent body. ,
And Dodge Brothers powerful new six
cylinder motor specially engineered for
The Victory preserves this luxurious
quietness at all speeds.
A Car of Striking Beauty
Body and chassis built as a single unit
without the customary body sill permits
lower over-all height with liberal head
room and road-clearance.
Splash shields, a constant source of noise
and annoyance are replaced by the wide,
deep Victory chassis frame; wide, heavy
gauge one-piece fenders and drum-type
head-lamps are provided. Upholstery,
hardware, instruments, color combina
tions and othef appointments satisfy the
most exacting demands of style and good
taste.
Indeed, you have a distinct and thrilling
impression that the car in which you are
riding is long, low, swift and safe a car
of surpassing originality and smartness
down to the smallest detail.
