Two thoroughly practical considera
tions will surely draw you toward
Oldsmobilc price and value. For high
quality at low price is the fundamen
tal reason for Oldsmobilc's constantly
growing success. But even price and
value are overshadowed by the com
pute and lasting satisfaction that
come? with Oldsmobilc ownership.
Consider the price only $875 for the
two-door sedan. Compare what Olds
mobilc offers ypu with what other
cars offer. You will discover that it is
doubtful economy to pay lees than ,
Oldstnobilc's price . . . and unnecessary
to pay more. For a car of lesser price
will never bring you all that 01dmo
bilc offers . . . and you'll have to pay
more than Oldsmobilc's price to obtain
the same fWie qualities in another car.
Oldsmobilc's big 62-h0rscpower high
compression engine provides ample
power for every emergency acceler
ation to take you out front when the
