Chrysler engineers have in this car employed the fundamentals of motor car design in a manner fully as revolutionary as the application of the steam turbine to ocean-going ships. -i- Vbur first ride in a Chrysler will compel a new conception of automobile transportation." WHAT YOU EXPECT OF CHRYSLER The imposing succession of Chrysler accomplishments has led the public instinctively to expect more of Chrysler than of other cars and it is the com pleteness with which Chrysler fulfills these higher expectations that explains the ever-rising tide of Chrysler success. You expect of Chrysler a charming individuality in style, and you get it. You expect a livelier and more thrilling spirit of performance, and you get it. You expect a more luxurious feeling of cradled comfort, and you get it. You expect a greater sum total of actual Taiue in Chrysler, and you find it. Chrysler today exerts a tremendous influence over the entire industry and justifiably. In the five years of its meteoric rise, Chrysler has done more than any other force in the automobile world to revolutionize and modernize motor car standards. That is the reason why the volume of Chrysler sales has increased to such mighty proportions and why Chrysler enjoys such prestige in 93 countries. We invite you to take a Chrysler demon strationexpecting more of Chrysler than of any car within several hundred dollars of its price. CBRYSLFR"75" 1?35 toll 795 EthlBod ! Styles.
